BEFORE THE FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION 

OFFICE OF ADMINISTRATIVE LAW JUDGES 

In the Matter of 

HOMEADVISOR, INC., 

a corporation, 

Docket No. 9407 

d/b/a ANGI LEADS, 

d/b/a HOMEADVISOR POWERED 

BY ANGI. 

RESPONDENT’S UNOPPOSED MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME

TO ANSWER THE COMPLAINT AND OTHER DEADLINES 

Counsel for Respondent HomeAdvisor, Inc. (“HomeAdvisor” or “Respondent”) 

respectfully moves to extend the time for HomeAdvisor to answer the complaint in this proceeding, 

the exchange of initial disclosures, the initial conference pursuant to 16 C.F.R. § 3.21(a), the 

scheduling conference pursuant to 16 C.F.R. § 3.21(b), and the opening of discovery. Complaint 

Counsel do not oppose this motion. 

The Complaint was served on HomeAdvisor on Friday, March 11, and HomeAdvisor’s

deadline for answering the Complaint therefore is March 28, 2022 (two weeks following the first 

business day after the service date). HomeAdvisor did not determine the timing of service. To 

provide HomeAdvisor with a reasonable period of time to respond to the Complaint, HomeAdvisor 

requests, and Complaint Counsel does not oppose, a brief one-week extension of the deadline for 

answering until April 4, 2022. To ensure that this extension does not delay the overall schedule 

for the proceedings, and to account for the unavailability during the weeks of April 11, 2022 and 

April 18, 2022, of certain counsel for HomeAdvisor and certain Complaint Counsel, HomeAdvisor

proposes, and Complaint Counsel do not object, to the following additional adjustments to the prehearing schedule: 

The date for the parties to exchange initial disclosures, currently set for April 4, 2022, 

would be extended by two days to April 6, 2022. 

The date for the parties to have their initial conference pursuant to 16 C.F.R. § 3.21(a) 

would be extended by four days from April 4, 2022 to April 8, 2022. 

The date for the scheduling conference with the Administrative Law Judge pursuant to 16 

C.F.R. § 3.21(b) would be extended from April 7, 2022 to April 25, 2022, April 28, 2022 or 

April 29, 2022 or as soon thereafter as the Administrative Law Judge is available. (Counsel for 

HomeAdvisor is not available on April 26 and April 27, 2022.) 

Provided the below proposed Order is entered, the parties expressly agree, pursuant to Rule 

3.31(a), that discovery can take place prior to the issuance of a scheduling order as follows: 

The date on which parties can begin serving written discovery requests shall be advanced 

to April 18, 2022. 

The date on which parties can begin noticing depositions and issuing subpoenas for 

testimony also shall be advanced to April 18, 2022, provided that no deposition will be noticed to 

take place prior to April 28, 2022. 

The Administrative Law Judge may extend deadlines for “good cause shown.” 16 C.F.R. 

§ 4.3(b). Good cause exists for the brief extensions sought in this motion because (1) they will 

provide HomeAdvisor reasonable time to answer the Complaint, particularly in light of preexisting commitments of HomeAdvisor’s counsel; (2) certain counsel for HomeAdvisor and

certain Complaint Counsel will not be available during the weeks of April 11 and April 18, 2022;

and (3) none of the proposed extensions will delay the overall schedule or require a change to the 

hearing date. 

Counsel for HomeAdvisor have met and conferred with Complaint Counsel, and as 

reflected herein, Complaint Counsel do not oppose the proposed extensions. No party will suffer 

any undue prejudice from the brief extensions requested. Moreover, the limited extension will not 

delay other procedural deadlines or the hearing date set for November, 9, 2022. 

For these reasons, Respondents respectfully request that the Court enter the attached 

proposed Order.
