 Plaintiffs, Case No. 4:22-cv-00691-O

 v.

MERRICK GARLAND, in his official 

capacity as Attorney General of the United 

States et al., 

 Defendants.

DEFENDANTS’ UNOPPOSED MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME

Defendants respectfully move this Court for a one-week extension for Defendantsto file their 

response to Plaintiffs’ Motion for Summary Judgment (ECF No. 140) and to Intervenor-Plaintiff 

BlackHawk Manufacturing Group Inc. d/b/a 80 Percent Arms’ Motion for Summary Judgment (ECF 

No. 144) (the summary judgment motions), and their cross-motion for summary judgment. In 

support of this motion, Defendants state as follows:

1. The summary judgment motions were filed on December 23, 2022. See ECF Nos. 

140, 144. 

2. Under the Court’s Scheduling Order (ECF No. 105), Defendants’ Response & CrossMotion for Summary Judgment is presently due 45 days thereafter, or February 6, 2023.

3. Defendants require additional time to prepare their response and cross-motion for 

summary judgment because of the winter holidays, because the original schedule was negotiated under 

the expectation of responding to one summary judgment motion rather than two, and because of the 

press of business and other litigation.
