Several Defendants have moved to dismiss the complaint. See, e.g., ECF Nos. 7 28 (Defendant Horizon Hospice), 46 (Defendant Northeastern Nevada Regional Hospital), 8 60 (Defendant Genesis Home Health Services), 85 (Defendant Highland Manor), and 99 9 (Defendant Genesis Hospice). 10 2. The New Defendants submit that many of the arguments set forth in the above- 11 mentioned motions are applicable to them, and that they may also possess additional, unique 12 arguments to be dismissed from this action. 13 14 3. In the interest of party and judicial economy, and to avoid the briefing of yet 15 another motion to dismiss at this juncture, the New Defendants suggested to counsel for 16 Plaintiffs that their deadline to respond to the complaint be stayed until after the Court has 17 ruled on the above-mentioned motions. 18 4. Plaintiffs agree to, and do not oppose, the relief requested in this stipulation 19 and request for extension of time. 20 5. Consequently, Defendants DEBBIE ANDERSON, ALICE ALLEN, and 21 MARISSELLA ELLIOT respectfully submit that they should be given until 15 days after a 22 ruling on Defendant Northeastern Nevada Regional Hospital’s motion to dismiss (ECF No. 23 85) to respond to the complaint. 24 25 /// 26 /// 27 /// 6. In consideration of the above, good cause exists for the parties’ requested

5 extension and it is not for purposes of delay. 3 DATED: February 3, 2020 Respectfully submitted, 4 5 By: /s/ Stephen S. Kent By: /s/Arthur A. Zorio NN Sas Arthur A.
