(collectively referred to as “Camfour”) respectfully move for an additional extension to respond to the Complaint. Camfour previously sought and was granted an initial thirty day extension pursuant to Local Civil Rule 7(b)(1)(a). (Dkt. No. 18). Camfour’s response to the Complaint is presently due on February 20, 2015. This case was removed to this Court on January 14, 2015, and plaintiffs filed a Motion to Remand on February 13, 2015 (Dkt. No. 27). Camfour intends to file a motion to dismiss the Complaint pursuant to the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act, 15 U.S.C. § 7901, et. seq. and for failure to state a claim upon which relief can be granted pursuant to Rule 12(b)(6) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. Plaintiffs have requested that this Court determine whether it has subject matter jurisdiction over this case before they are required to respond to any motions to dismiss the Complaint. Case 3:15-cv-00068-RNC Document 29 Filed 02/18/15 Page 1 of 3 2 Defendants Remington Arms Company, LLC and Remington Outdoor Company, Inc. (collectively referred to as “Remington”) wrote to the Court on February 17, 2015, (Dkt. No. 28), proposing to file their motion to dismiss the Complaint on February 20, 2015 and that briefing on it proceed simultaneously with briefing on plaintiffs’ Motion to Remand. Should this Court enter a briefing schedule for Remington’s motion to dismiss, Camfour will file its motion to dismiss consistent with that schedule. In the alternative, should this Court not enter a briefing schedule for Remington’s motion to dismiss because of plaintiffs’ request that this Court first determine whether it has subject matter jurisdiction over this case, Camfour respectfully requests a twenty-one day extension to respond to the Complaint from the date of this Court’s ruling on whether it has subject matter jurisdiction over this case. Counsel for plaintiffs, Alinor C. Sterling, Esq., has advised that plaintiffs have no objection to the requested extension. For the above reasons, Camfour respectfully requests that this Court grant its motion for an additional extension to respond to the Complaint, and extend the deadline for its motion to dismiss to follow any briefing schedule entered in response to Remington’s February 17, 2015 request or, if no briefing schedule is entered for Remington’s motion to dismiss, by twenty-one days after this Court’s decision on whether it has subject matter jurisdiction over this case.
