DEFENDANTS’ MOTION TO EXTEND DISCOVERY DEADLINES
______________________________________________________________________________
Defendants Crossroads Systems, Inc. and Capital Plus Financial, LLC (collectively
“Defendants”), file their Motion to Extend the Deadline to Conduct Rule 26(f) Conference. In
support of this Motion, Defendants incorporate by reference its previous Motion to Extend
Discovery Deadlines and Brief in Support filed on February 25, 2022 (ECF 26, 27), and state as
follows:
1. On February 28, 2022, the Court granted Defendants’ Motion to Extend Discovery
Deadlines (ECF 26) and stayed the Rule 26(f) conference and report deadlines pending a ruling
on Defendants’ Motion to Dismiss filed on February 25, 2022. (ECF 28).
2. On March 28, 2022, Plaintiffs filed an Amended Class Action Complaint
(“Amended Complaint”). (ECF 31).
3. On April 5, 2022, Defendants filed an unopposed motion for an extension of time
to respond to the Amended Complaint which allows Defendants until April 29, 2022 to file

any motion or response to the Amended Complaint. The motion also agrees to a mutual
extension stating that Plaintiffs have until May 31, 2022, to respond to any motion to dismiss.
(ECF 36).
4. Because the parties have agreed to extend the response deadlines in light of the
Amended Complaint, and on the basis of arguments presented in Defendants initial Motion to
Extend Discovery (ECF 26) fully incorporated herein by reference, which was previously
granted by the Court, (ECF 28), Defendants respectfully request that this Court extend its prior
Order staying the Rule 26(f) conference and report deadlines set forth in this Court’s Initial
Scheduling Order entered on January 20, 2022, (ECF 6), pending this Court’s ruling on any
motion filed in response to the Amended Complaint, and further order that the deadline for a
Rule 26(f) conference will be 30 days after any such ruling.
5. Pursuant to Local Rule 7.2(d)(1), no brief accompanies this request for an extension
of time.
WHEREFORE, Defendants respectfully request that the Court grant their Motion to Extend
the Deadline to conduct the Rule 26(f) Conference.
Dated: April 6, 2022.
Respectfully submitted,
