ORDERS

JERK, LLC AND JOHN FANNING

Docket No. 9361. Order, January 12, 2015. Commission order granting a four-day extension of the deadline for complaint counsel to file a reply to respondent’s opposition to complaint counsel’s motion for summary decision.

COMMISSION ORDER ON COMPLAINT COUNSEL’S UNOPPOSED

MOTION TO EXTEND TIME TO REPLY TO RESPONDENT JERK, LLC’S

OPPOSITION TO MOTION FOR SUMMARY DECISION

On January 6, 2015, Complaint Counsel moved to extend the time to reply to Respondent Jerk, LLC’s (“Jerk’s”) Opposition to Complaint Counsel’s Motion for Summary Decision. Under Commission Rule 3.22(d), the deadline for Complaint Counsel’s Reply is January 12, 2015. Complaint Counsel has requested an extension of that deadline to January 16, 2015. Complaint Counsel explains that the extension would permit it to receive Jerk’s responses to long-outstanding discovery requests – expected on or before January 13 – before filing the Reply. Complaint Counsel also maintains that simultaneous filing obligations regarding aspects of the case pending before Chief Administrative Law Judge Chappell leave it “pressed for time.” Complaint Counsel states that counsel for Respondents Jerk and John Fanning do not oppose the requested extension. Under Commission Rule 4.3(b), the Commission, “for good cause shown, may extend any time limit prescribed by the rules. . . .” 16 C.F.R. § 4.3(b). Under the circumstances described above, the four-day extension of time is appropriate. Accordingly, the Unopposed Motion is GRANTED; and

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the deadline for Complaint Counsel to file a Reply to Respondent Jerk’s Opposition to Interlocutory Orders, Etc.

Complaint Counsel’s Motion for Summary Decision shall be January 16, 2015.

By the Commission.
