U.S. Bank, and its counsel, are still inventorying and analyzing whether and which cases 15 should be dismissed as a result of Deutsche Bank. Several matters have already been 16 dismissed or are in that process. It remains possible that the Parties can negotiate a 17 dismissal without expending additional resources. However, U.S. Bank’s counsel is set 18 to go out on maternity leave beginning the week of January 16, 2024 and has recently 19 been out of office due to pregnancy-related issues. 20 6. U.S. Bank’s counsel is therefore requesting a thirty day extension until Wednesday, 21 February 14, 2024, to file its response to the pending Motion; 22 7.
