The court granted the motion only after noting this was the third extension requested and that St. Clair had ample time to secure counsel.
St. Clair had asked for a thirty-day extension pending a ruling on a motion to transfer venue in a related action she initiated in the Southern District of New York.
The court rejected the full thirty-day request, observing that St. Clair did not argue the case could not proceed while the transfer motion was pending in New York.
Judge O'Connor ordered the answer deadline extended to April 30, 2026.
The order explicitly warned that the court was unlikely to grant another extension.
