IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT


FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF VIRGINIA

Acer, Inc.,
C.A. No. 1:21-cv-01390
Plaintiff,

v.

Volkswagen, AG and Volkswagen Group of


America, Inc.,

Defendants.

UNOPPOSED MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME FOR


DEFENDANT TO RESPOND TO COMPLAINT

Defendant Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. (“VWGoA”), by counsel and pursuant to

Fed. R. Civ. P. 6(b)(1) and Local Civil Rule 7(F)(2)(b), files this unopposed motion for an

extension of time up to and including Wednesday, March 9, to answer, plead, or otherwise

respond to the Complaint filed by Plaintiff Acer, Incorporated. Defendant states as follows:

VWGoA’s response to the Complaint is currently due on February 7, 2022. Good cause

exists for this Court to grant this second extension because the parties are in negotiations to settle

all matters in controversy between them. VWGoA respectfully requests that this Court grant the

requested extension to allow the parties to more effectively continue with negotiations and

finalize an agreement. Counsel for VWGoA has spoken with Plaintiff’s counsel, and Plaintiff

does not oppose Defendant’s request for an extension of time. This extension does not present a

risk of prejudice to Acer, Inc. and will preserve the parties’ and the Court’s resources. As no

other responsive motions are pending before the Court, an extension will not significantly delay

the proceedings.
