`Case 2:18-cr-00422-DJH Document 1396 Filed 11/18/21 Page 3 of 5
`
`
`
`On November 17, 2021, the Government filed a Motion for Leave to File Excess Pages
`for the Response to Defendants’ Joint Motion to Dismiss with Prejudice. (Doc. 1392). The
`Government’s Motion for Leave sought an order directing the Clerk to file the overlength
`Response to Motion to Dismiss (Doc. 1393) that the Government lodged with their Motion for
`Leave. The Government’s lodged Response to Defendants’ Joint Motion to Dismiss is 33 pages.
`Defendants’ request the unopposed extension of time to extend the deadline to November
`30, 2021, for the following reasons: (1) to be able to adequately respond to the length and
`complexity of the Government’s brief, (2) because one of the lead attorneys working on the brief
`is currently on bereavement leave; and (3) because various attorneys working on the brief have no
`childcare over the Thanksgiving holiday.
`Undersigned counsel conferred with government counsel (Andrew Stone) about this
`request. Government counsel has no objection to extending the Defendants’ reply deadline to
`November 30, 2021.
`Because of the reasons stated above and the government’s non-opposition to the extension
`of time, Defendants respectfully request that the Court enter an order extending and setting the
`Defendants’ deadline to reply to the Government’s Response to Motion to Dismiss (Doc. 1393)
`for November 30, 2021.
`Excludable delay under 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h) may occur as a result of this motion or an order
`based thereon.
`
`RESPECTFULLY SUBMITTED this 18th day of November 2021,
