1 of 3 1 As required by LR IA 6-1, Defendant’s counsel states that the failure to file the stipulation || to extend before the deadline was the result the attorney’s excusable neglect, and says: 1) there is || no danger of prejudice to the Plaintiff, especially in light of pending motions to dismiss by all other || Defendants; 2) there is no impact due to a seven day delay between the deadline and the filing; 3) || the reason for the delay was counsel’s misapprehension that the only attempted service on the || Canadian company had been disputed the service in Texas until Plaintiff's counsel confirmed on || April 10, 2025, re-service occurred in Canada on March 18, 2025 (making the responsive pleading || due April 8") and agreed to an extension until April 24,2025 (although Plaintiffs counsel would || not return to his office on April 14, 2025), and both counsel agreed to the stipulation to extend on || April 14"", which Defendant’s counsel lodged with the Court on April 15, 2025; 4) Defendant acted || in good faith and without any intent to delay.”
