`SUPERIOR COURT
`
`J. D. OF STAMFORD/NORWALK
`
`AT STAMFORD
`
`SEPTEMBER 21, 2021
`
`MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME
`
`The undersigned defendant, Altice Media Solutions, LLC d/b/a Optimum
`
`(“Optimum”), hereby moves for an extension of time of sixty (60) days to respond to
`
`plaintiff’s Motion for Summary Judgment dated August 25, 2021 (Entry #106.00).
`
`Plaintiff commenced this action by way of Summons and Complaint dated August
`
`11, 2021 with a Return Date of August 17, 2021. Just eight days after the Return Date,
`
`plaintiff moved for summary judgment as to Counts One and Three of its Complaint.
`
`Count One is a breach of contract claim, and Count Three is a CUTPA claim.
`
`The defendant moves for an extension of time for the following reasons. First,
`
`the defendant moved to strike Count Three of plaintiff’s Complaint in the Motion to
`
`Strike dated September 1, 2021 (Entry #113.00). The Motion to Strike should be
`
`addressed prior to the Motion for Summary Judgment.
`
`Second, the defendant served discovery requests on the plaintiff on September
`
`21, 2021. In order to develop its defense to plaintiff’s claims, the defendant should be
`
`permitted to obtain plaintiff’s responses to discovery prior to responding the Motion for
`
`Summary Judgment. It would be unfair for the plaintiff to submit that there is no
`
`question of fact, but prevent the defendant from obtaining the necessary discovery to
`
`determine if there is a question of fact.
`
`
`
`
`
`Based on the above, the defendant respectfully requests an additional sixty (60)
`
`days to respond to the plaintiff’s Motion for Summary Judgment to allow time for the
`
`Court to address the defendant’s Motion to Strike and for the defendant to obtain
`
`necessary discovery.
