Gottschall: Plaintiff's motion 15 for an extension to and including September 2, 2025, of its deadline to file a motion for default judgment is granted.In its status report 14 dated August 1, 2025, plaintiff represents and attaches email correspondence showing that on June 30, 2025, at approximately 6:18 PM, attorney Layla Nguyen agreed to a request from defendant to extend its answer deadline by thirty days. Dkt. No. [14-1]. At that time, plaintiff's motion for entry of an order of default 12 was pending.
