Considering Respondents' Motion for Extension of Time to file Response (Doc. 12), the motion is terminated as moot because Respondents have since filed the Response (Doc. 16). Further, because the Motion for Extension was filed before the response deadline had passed, and the Response has now been filed, the Court will consider the Response timely.
