MOTION 

In accordance with Fed R Civ P 6(b), all defendants move for an order resetting 

the time to appear or otherwise respond to the complaint to January 25, 2016. 

MEMORANDUM IN SUPPORT 

Plaintiff's complaint was filed in the Circuit Court for the State of Oregon for the 

County of Lane on November 4, 2015, and all defendants joined in removing the action to the 

United States District Court for the District of Oregon on December 2, 2015. Defendants' 

response, therefore, would normally be due on December 9, 2015. Defendants seek this 

extension of time to respond to the complaint due to defense counsel's pre-scheduled work 

obligations, travel schedule, and holiday absences. As noted above, counsel for plaintiff 

consents to the requested extension. 

This is the first request for an extension made by defendants and this motion is 

not made for purposes of delay. 

CONCLUSION 

Defendants respectfully request that this motion be granted. 

DATED this 4th day of December, 2015.
