 FRANCISCO,
                                                        Civil No. 24-01313 (GMM)

 NAVARRO,

 Defendants.


                  UNOPPOSED MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME
             TO COMPLY WITH THE COURT’S DISCOVERY ORDER [DE 245]

TO THE HONORABLE COURT:

       COME NOW defendants Benworth Capital Partners PR, LLC (“Benworth PR”),

Benworth Capital Partners, LLC (“Benworth FL”), and Bernardo and Claudia Navarro (“Mr. and

Mrs. Navarro” and, jointly with Benworth PR and Benworth FL, the “Defendants”), through the

undersigned counsel and pursuant to Local Rule 16(h)(i)(1), and respectfully request that the Court

extend the deadline for Defendants to comply with the Court’s Order on Plaintiff’s Motion to

Enforce Order at ECF No. 224 Granting Plaintiff-Intervenor Federal Reserve Bank of San

Francisco’s Motion to Compel Benworth’s Quickbooks Accounting Data (the “Order”):

       1.      On May 21, 2025, the Court entered the Order, ordering Defendants to provide

Plaintiff-Intervenor the Federal Reserve Bank of San Franisco (the “Reserve Bank”) with exported

data from their QuickBooks database for the period of January 1, 2020, to the present, by May 27,

2025. (See D.E. 245).

        2.      Due to technical issues out of their control, Defendants have not had access to their

servers, including the QuickBooks database, since May 18, 2025. Defendants immediately

engaged an IT firm to restore access, but the IT firm has stated that it will need another two weeks

to fully restore the servers.

        3.      Accordingly, Defendants respectfully request a 2-week extension, through June 10,

2025, to fully comply with the Court’s Order.

        4.      Counsel for Defendants initially raised the need for extension with counsel for the

Reserve Bank via email on May 23, 2025. Counsel for the parties conferred further via phone and

email on May 27, 2025. Counsel for the Reserve Bank represented that it will not oppose the

extension requested herein if Defendants agree to two conditions: (1) that Defendants attach to this

Motion a declaration, under penalty of perjury, by an individual at Benworth FL with personal

knowledge of the issue necessitating the extension that describes the issue and how it prevents

access to the QuickBooks data, and (2) to note on this Motion that, although Defendants are

seeking a two-week extension, Defendants agree to produce the data at the earliest possible date,

as soon as it is available.

        5.      Defendants agree to both conditions. But due to the nature of the issue necessitating

the extension, Defendants are unable to submit the declaration requested by the Reserve Bank with

the instant Motion. However, Defendants will file the requested declaration no later than

tomorrow, May 28, 2025, to which the Reserve Bank expressed no objection.

        6.      This motion is made in good faith to ensure compliance with the Court’s Order and

based on circumstances out of the Defendants’ control, and not for purposes of delaying the

proceedings. Granting this motion will not prejudice any party.

        WHEREFORE, Defendants respectfully request that the Court grant this unopposed
      Case 3:23-cv-01034-GMM             Document 246         Filed 05/27/25       Page 3 of 4

motion and extend the deadline to comply with the Court’s Order at D.E. 245 to June 10, 2025.

       CERTIFICATE OF SERVICE: We hereby certify that on this same date the foregoing

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

of such filing to all attorneys and participants of record.

       RESPECTFULLY SUBMITTED.
