`Zirvi v. Illumina, Inc., et al.
`Re:
`2:23-cv-1997-MCA-JSA
`
`
`
`Dear Judge Allen:
`
`
`I represent Defendant Illumina, Inc. in the above-captioned matter. I am writing jointly on
`behalf of Illumina and Defendant Thermo Fisher Scientific (collectively “Moving Defendants”) to
`request a sixty (60) day extension to Answer or otherwise respond to the Complaint pursuant to
`Local Civil Rule 6.1. The time for Moving Defendants to respond to the Complaint has not yet
`expired and Moving defendants have not previously requested an extension.
`
`Moving Defendants requested consent from Plaintiff for a sixty (60) day extension but
`Plaintiff’s counsel would only consent to a thirty (30) day extension. Moving Defendants need a
`sixty day extension due to the number and complexity of the issues raised in the Complaint. There
`is no prejudice to Plaintiff because the lawsuit is still in its early stages and several other defendants
`have not yet been served or otherwise entered an appearance. Therefore, there is good cause for
`the requested extension.
`
`If the requested extension is acceptable to Your Honor, Moving Defendants respectfully
`request entry of the enclosed Order memorializing the extension request.
`
`We thank Your Honor for your attention to this matter and are available to discuss this
`request at the Court’s convenience.
