Defendant seeks a 30-day extension of time to respond to the complaint from June 3, 2026, to July 3, 2026. In support, Defendant represents that it requires additional time in light of other related cases pending in this district. Motions for extension of time must set forth good cause supported by specific facts. Although I find good cause to grant an extension, Defendant's proffered facts does not warrant a 30-day extension.
