Civil Action No. 15:5219-MAK PLAINTIFF’S MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME TO RESPOND TO DEFENDANT’S AMENDED MOTION TO DISMISS Plaintiff Law School Admission Council, Inc. (“LSAC”) requests that the Court grant LSAC until December 21, 2015 to respond to the Amended Motion to Dismiss (Dkt. No. 21) filed by defendant Morley Tatro d/b/a Cambridge LSAT (“Defendant”), in lieu of requiring LSAC to respond to Defendant’s Original Motion to Dismiss (Dkt. No. 9). The reasons for this request are as follows: 1. On October 29, 2015, Defendant filed its Original Motion to Dismiss for lack of personal jurisdiction. See Dkt. No. 9. 2. After Defendant failed to comply with the Court’s Scheduling Order pertaining to the timing for jurisdictional discovery, the Court granted LSAC an extension to respond to Defendant’s Original Motion to Dismiss setting the deadline at December 11, 2015. See Dkt. No. 17 ¶ 2. 3. On December 3, 2015, Defendant filed an Amended Motion to Dismiss. See Dkt. No. 21. Defendant’s Amended Motion to Dismiss raises a variety of new arguments regarding general and specific jurisdiction.
