counsel, respectfully submit this unopposed motion for a thirty-day extension to file an amended

complaint in the Antitrust Tranche of this Multidistrict Litigation. The Court ordered that an amended

their time be extended to January 20, 2022.

In support, Antitrust Plaintiffs state as follows:

2. The Antitrust Plaintiffs advised the Court and the Defendants that JSLF will be in a

multi-week jury trial, In re Capacitors Antitrust Litig., No. 17-md-02801, beginning on November 29,

2021 in the “Joint Status Report” filed with the Court on June 2, 2021 (ECF No. 322, fn. 1).

3. A one-month extension will permit JSLF to complete the trial and diligently work with

its co-lead counsel, Hach Rose Schirripa & Cheverie, LLP on drafting an amended complaint that

addresses the Court’s concerns and issues raised in its Order Dismissing The Corrected Consolidated

Class Action Complaint [ECF No. 438].
