`
`IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
`FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA
`
`
`FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION,
`
`
`
`
`Plaintiff,
`
`v.
`
`Defendant.
`
`Civil Action No. 1:20-cv-03590 (JEB)
`
`
`
`
`FACEBOOK, INC.
`
`
`
`
`
`FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION’S UNOPPOSED MOTION FOR AN EXTENSION
`OF TIME TO FILE AN AMENDED COMPLAINT
`
`
`On June 28, 2021, the Court dismissed Plaintiff Federal Trade Commission’s complaint
`
`without prejudice, and provided Plaintiff until July 29, 2021 to file an amended complaint. ECF
`
`No. 72. Pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 6(b)(1), Plaintiff respectfully moves this
`
`Court for an extension of time of 21 days until August 19, 2021 to file an amended complaint.
`
`Pursuant to Local Civil Rule 7(m), Plaintiff conferred with counsel for Defendant Facebook, Inc.
`
`(“Facebook”) regarding this requested extension, and Facebook does not oppose this motion,
`
`subject to the following understandings.
`
`First, the parties have agreed to the following proposed schedule related to Facebook’s
`
`response to an amended complaint: (1) Plaintiff shall file an amended complaint no later than
`
`August 19, 2021; (2) Facebook shall file its answer or otherwise respond to Plaintiff’s amended
`
`complaint by October 4, 2021; (3) Plaintiff shall file its opposition to Facebook’s motion to
`
`dismiss, if any, by November 17, 2021; and (4) Facebook shall file its reply, if any, by December
`
`1, 2021. Second, Facebook reserves all rights as to the adequacy, legal validity, and
`
`appropriateness of any proposed amendment.
`
`
`
`Case 1:20-cv-03590-JEB Document 74 Filed 07/23/21 Page 2 of 3
`
`Plaintiff respectfully submits that good cause exists to extend until August 19, 2021 the
`
`deadline to file an amended complaint. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 6(b)(1) (the Court may for good
`
`cause grant requests for time extension made before the original time expires). The requested
`
`extension will provide sufficient time for Plaintiff to complete internal agency processes with
`
`respect to filing an amended complaint. Further, the parties have agreed to a schedule for a
`
`response to the amended complaint and any necessary briefing thereafter as described above.
`
`The modest extensions requested will not burden or prejudice Defendant or any third parties, and
`
`are consistent with the just, speedy, and inexpensive determination of this action. See Fed. R.
`
`Civ. P. 1.
`
`For the foregoing reasons, Plaintiff respectfully requests that the Court grant this motion.
`
`
`
