`
`
`UNOPPOSED MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME TO RESPOND
`AND MEMORANDUM IN SUPPORT THEREOF
`______________________________________________________________________________
`
`Defendant, Groupon, Inc. (“Groupon”), respectfully moves for an extension of time in
`
`which Groupon may respond to the Motion to Dismiss Under Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(b)(6) and
`
`Motion to Strike Under Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(f) (Doc. 24), filed by Plaintiff on January 25, 2013. In
`
`support of the motion, Groupon states as follows:
`
`
`
`
`
`1.
`
`2.
`
`Plaintiff’s motion seeks relief under both Rule 12(b) and Rule 12(f).
`
`Pursuant to Local Rule 12.1, a party opposing a motion to dismiss under Rule
`
`12(b) must file a response within 28 days. Pursuant to Local Rule 7.2, however, a party
`
`opposing a motion to strike under Rule 12(f) must file a response within 14 days.
`
`
`
`3.
`
`In the interest of efficiency, Groupon prefers to address all of the issues raised in
`
`Plaintiff’s motion in a single response.
`
`
`
`4.
`
`Groupon therefore respectfully requests that the Court grant an extension of time
`
`to respond to the portion of Plaintiff’s motion seeking relief under Rule 12(f) such that the
`
`deadline for Groupon’s combined response is February 25, 2013.

`
`it up to and including February 25, 2013, in which to file a combined response to Plaintiff’s
`
`Motion to Dismiss Under Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(b)(6) and Motion to Strike Under Fed. R. Civ. P.
`
`12(f).
