ORDER EXTENDING TIME AND SETTING 

INITIAL PREHEARING CONFERENCE 

I. 

On March 23, 2022, Respondent HomeAdvisor, Inc. filed an Unopposed Motion for 

Extension of Time to Answer the Complaint and Other Deadlines (“Motion to Extend”), which 

included, inter alia, a request to extend the deadline for holding the prehearing scheduling 

conference in this matter. Under Rule 3.21(b) of the Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”) Rules 

of Practice, the conference must be held “[n]ot later than 10 days after the answer is filed . . . .”

16 C.F.R. § 3.21(b). 

By Order issued March 24, 2022, Respondent’s request to extend the deadline for filing 

an answer was granted based on a showing of good cause. The request to extend the deadline for 

holding the scheduling conference was denied as premature, as Respondent had not yet filed an 

answer. Respondent filed its Answer to the Complaint on April 4, 2022. Accordingly, the request 

to extend the deadline for holding the scheduling conference is now ripe. 

II. 

Under Rule 3.21(b) the last day to hold the scheduling conference would be April 14, 

2022. In support of the request to extend the deadline, the Motion to Extend stated that various 

counsel for Respondent and Complaint Counsel would be unavailable during the weeks of April 

11 and April 18, 2022. FTC Rule 4.3(b) provides that, except under circumstances not here 

presented, the Administrative Law Judge may, for good cause shown, extend any time limit 

prescribed or allowed by the rules. 16 C.F.R. § 4.3(b).

Based on the foregoing, good cause exists to extend the deadline for holding the 

prehearing scheduling conference. Accordingly, the unopposed request to extend the deadline is 

GRANTED. 

It is hereby ORDERED that the prehearing scheduling conference pursuant to Rule 

3.21(b) will be held on April 25, 3:00 p.m. EDT. Due to ongoing public health concerns related 

to COVID-19, the scheduling conference will be conducted telephonically. The proceedings will 

be stenographically recorded. To the extent practicable, members of the press and public will be 

allowed to access the proceedings of the scheduling conference via a public call-in number. 

Interested parties are directed to contact the FTC Office of Public Affairs for call-in information. 

The parties are directed to confer in advance of the scheduling conference and to comply 

with Commission Rule 3.21(a) and (b). The expected scheduling order will be provided to the 

parties in advance of the scheduling conference. 

ORDERED:
