waived service of the summons have different response deadlines with respect to the Complaint

that vary from December 21, 2012 to January 28, 2013.

Additionally, to date, counsel for the Defendants has indicated a possible willingness to

discuss settlement of this matter. If a resolution can be reached in this matter, most likely such a

resolution would be a global resolution that would resolve this case in its entirety as to all the

parties. Accordingly, the parties need time to determine whether this matter can be settled. The

parties to this Motion thereby wish to have an opportunity to discuss possible resolution of this

matter and need time to do so. Further, some of the Defendants’ response to the Complaint are

due at or around the start of the holiday season when counsel for both sides and/or

representatives of the parties in this matter have set vacations.

The parties seek an extension not for delay, but to permit the parties an opportunity to

review this matter and possibly resolve Plaintiff’s claims without the need for further litigation.
