Pursuant to L.R. 144(a), Plaintiff and Defendants CITY OF ANDERSON, BRAD 

HAWKINS, ANDERSON FIRE PROTECTION DISTRICT, and STEVEN ALLRED (the 

“Defendants”) hereby stipulate to an additional extension of time for Defendants to file a timely 

response to Plaintiff’s Complaint by one additional week from September 13, 2024 to September 

20, 2024 for all Defendants, and respectfully request that the Court grant this request. 

The reason for the request is that the parties began to meet and confer regarding a planned 

motion to dismiss and the possibility of an amended complaint, but have not completed

discussions. Plaintiff and Defendants previously stipulated to extend the time for Defendants to 

file a timely response to Plaintiff’s Complaint to September 13, 2024 in order to complete meet 

and confer efforts (ECF No. 9); however, due to scheduling conflicts and Plaintiff’s unavailability 

the parties require additional time. Accordingly, the parties request a short extension to complete 

discussion of whether they may narrow or resolve the issues. If the parties are unable to come to 

complete discussion by the new deadline, the parties will consider the meet and confer process 

exhausted.
