PETITION TO VACATE FINAL ARBITRATION AWARD 
 
would be due on September 3, 2024.   
3. 
Benworth has filed a motion in the related case to consolidate briefing on the vacatur and 
confirmation proceedings. See Administrative Motion for Enlargement of Page Limits Applicable to 
Respondent’s Cross-Motion to Vacate and for Extension of Time to Respond to Petitioner’s Motion to 
Confirm, Oto Analytics, LLC f/k/a Oto Analytics, Inc. d/b/a Womply v. Benworth Capital Partners, LLC, 
Case No.3:24-cv-3975-AMO (N.D. Calif. Aug. 26, 2024) (the “Confirmation Proceedings”), ECF No. 46. 
This Court has not adjudicated that motion as of this filing. See generally Docket, Confirmation 
Proceedings. As such, and in the event this Court declines to consolidate the proceedings and/or briefing, 
the undersigned submits this motion for an enlargement of time with respect to its reply in support of its 
Petition to Vacate in an abundance of caution.  
4. 
The undersigned requests additional time to prepare Petitioner’s reply.  The Undersigned 
has deadlines in other proceedings that necessitate an enlargement of time to file its reply: Oral Argument 
in the Supreme Court of North Carolina, Cato Corporation, et al., v. Zurich American Insurance Company, 
Case No. COA23-305; Initial Brief due in the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, Andrea 
M. Caston, et al., v. Hoffmann-La Roche, Inc., et al., Case No. 24-2920, D.C. No. 3:23-cv-00928-TLT; a 
Reply Brief in Benes v. de la Aguilera, No. 3D24-0152 (Fla. 3d DCA), among other deadlines. Robinson 
Decl. ¶ 2.    
5. 
The questions presented related to the Petition to Vacate are not insubstantial matters that 
may be briefed in seven days. Id. Even Respondent Womply took 20 days to submit its response after 
receipt of the Petition to Vacate, not 14 days. Compare ECF No. 1 (Petition to Vacate dated August 7, 
2024) with ECF No. 25 (Womply’s response dated August 26, 2024).   
6. 
Benworth requests a 30-day enlargement of time to and including October 3, 2024, to 
submit its reply.  
7. 
Because the next hearing in these related matters is not until January 9, 2025, the requested 
enlargement will not prejudice the parties. 
8. 
The undersigned met and conferred with counsel for the Respondent regarding the requested 
relief. Robinson Decl. at ¶ 5. The Respondent said it objected to the extension because it suspects that this 
Court could resolve the Petition to Vacate on the papers before the January 2025 hearing date. Id.
