1. On May 3, 2016, Plaintiff filed his complaint. ECF No. 1.
2. Defendant’s current deadline for filing its response to the complaint is June 9, 2016.

Defendant hereby moves to extend the time for Defendant to file a response to Plaintiff’s
complaint until July 8, 2016.

5. This is the first extension that Defendant has sought in this case.

response to the complaint until July 8, 2016. A proposed order is attached.
