DEADLINE TO ANSWER AND [PROPOSED] ORDER KRISTI NOEM, et al., Noted for Consideration: 13 Defendants. May 22, 2025 15 Plaintiff Alexandra Setyukova and Defendants, through their respective counsel, pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 6 and Local Civil Rules 10(g) and 16, stipulate and move for a 30-day extension of the deadline for Defendants to respond to the Complaint. A court may modify a deadline for good cause. Fed. R. Civ. P. 6(b). Continuing pretrial and trial dates is within the discretion of the trial judge. See King v. State of California, 784 F.2d 910, 912 (9th Cir. 1986).

20 Good cause exists to extend Defendants’ response deadline to June 23, 2025.

21 Plaintiff brings this lawsuit pursuant to the Administrative Procedure Act and the Mandamus Act to compel the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (“USCIS”) to adjudicate Form I-589, Application for Asylum and for Withholding of Removal, that Plaintiff filed on behalf of herself and her wife and child. Defendants’ current deadline to respond to the Complaint is May 23, 2025. Undersigned counsel for Defendants needs additional time to coordinate a response to the Complaint. Therefore, the parties agree to and propose that Defendants’ deadline to respond to the Complaint be extended to June 23, 2025. This is the first request for an extension of this deadline.
