Trive Capital Mgmt., LLC et al., No. 24-AP-50130 in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware; and

c. preparing and conducting multiple depositions in PURIS LLC v. Mayer, No. 25-cv-00157 in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida.

These and other scheduling conflicts necessitate this request for an extension.

3. Appellants therefore request that the deadline for filing its Reply Brief of Appellants be extended 14 days to March 31, 2025. This is Appellants’ first request for an extension of time for its Reply Brief of Appellants and is not sought for the purpose of delay.

For these reasons, Appellants Curadev Pharma Pvt. Ltd. and Curadev Pharma Limited respectfully pray that the Court extend the time to file its Reply Brief of Appellants to March 31, 2025.
