1 As required by LR IA 6-1, Defendant’s counsel states that the failure to file the stipulation 2 || to extend before the deadline was the result the attorney’s excusable neglect, and says: 1) there is 3 || no danger of prejudice to the Plaintiff, especially in light of pending motions to dismiss by all other 4 || Defendants; 2) there is no impact due to a seven day delay between the deadline and the filing; 3) 5 || the reason for the delay was counsel’s misapprehension that the only attempted service on the 6 || Canadian company had been disputed the service in Texas until Plaintiff's counsel confirmed on 7 || April 10, 2025, re-service occurred in Canada on March 18, 2025 (making the responsive pleading 8 || due April 8") and agreed to an extension until April 24,2025 (although Plaintiffs counsel would 9 || not return to his office on April 14, 2025), and both counsel agreed to the stipulation to extend on 10 || April 14"", which Defendant’s counsel lodged with the Court on April 15, 2025; 4) Defendant acted 11 || in good faith and without any intent to delay.” 12 Plaintiff takes no position on excusable neglect and expressly reserves all rights, remedies, 13 || defenses, objections, and legal arguments. Plaintiff also contends that service in Texas was valid; 14 || however, out of abundance of caution, he decided to re-serve the Defendant in Canada. 15 vee 16 || ... 17 ||... 18 || ... 19 || ... 20 || ... 21 vee 22 || ... 23 || ... 24 || ... 25 vee 26 || ... 27 28 ?
