TO THE HONORABLE COURT:

Claudia Navarro (“Mr. and Mrs. Navarro” and, jointly with Benworth PR and Benworth FL, the

the Complaint in Intervention. D.E. 146.
2. Thus, pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(a)(1)(A)(i), the Defendants must file their
answers or otherwise plead to the Complaint in Intervention by August 23, 2024.
3. Prior to filing the Complaint in Intervention in the present action, on July 10, 2024,
the Intervenor initiated a separate action by filing a Complaint against the same Defendants in the
case styled Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco v. Benworth Capital Partners LLC et al., Civil
No. 24-01313 (the “Reserve Bank Action”). Said Reserve Bank Action was consolidated with the
present action (Civil No. 23-01034) by order of this Honorable Court entered on August 20, 2024.
See D.E. 153, 155.
4. However, prior to consolidation, the parties to the Reserve Bank Action –that is,
Intervenor and Defendants—had stipulated that the deadline for all Defendants to answer or
otherwise plead to the Complaint in the Reserve Bank Action shall be October 1, 2024. See
Reserve Bank Action at D.E. 15, 21.
5. The allegations raised by Intervenor in its Complaint in Intervention and in its now-
consolidated Reserve Bank Action Complaint are substantially similar an intimately related.
6. The Defendants and the undersigned counsel are in the process of investigating the
Intervenor’s allegations but require an extension of time to complete the same and responsibly
prepare a responsive pleading or otherwise respond to the Complaint in Intervention.
7. To that end, the Defendants respectfully request that the Court allow a 38-day
extension of time, or until October 1, 2024, to file their respective answers or otherwise plead to
the Complaint in Intervention, which is the same stipulated deadline by which Defendants would
file their responsive pleading to the Reserve Bank Action Complaint.
8. The extension requested herein is sought in good faith, within the original deadline

to respond, and will not cause undue delay in the instant proceedings.

the Defendants to answer or otherwise plead to the Complaint in Intervention.

reply was filed with the Clerk of the Court using the CM/ECF system, which will send notification
