Case No. 6:14-cv-00187-RAW


APPLICATION OF DEFENDANT DAVID MISCAVIGE
FOR AUTOMATIC EXTENSION OF TIME TO ANSWER OR PLEAD
Defendant, David Miscavige (Mr. Miscavige), by and through his attorneys of record,
GableGotwals, having specially appeared and preserved all available defenses, applies to the
Court pursuant to Local Rule 7(i) for an Order enlarging the time within which to file a response
to Plaintiffs Complaint, by an additional fifteen (15) days from October 16, 2014 to and
including October 31, 2014. In support of this Application, the Court is advised as follows:
1. Plaintiffs purport to have served Mr. Miscavige by executing substitute service
under California Code of Civil Procedure 415.20 and mailing a copy of the subpoena by first-
class, pre-paid postage on September 16, 2014. (Dkt. #375.) According to Plaintiffs Affidavit
of Service, service on Mr. Miscavige is alleged to have been effective, pursuant to California
law, as of September 26, 2014. Assuming service was effective (which is not admitted), a
response to the Complaint on behalf of Mr. Miscavige would be due no earlier than October 16,
2014.
2. This is Mr. Miscaviges first application for an extension of time in this matter.

3. Local Rule 7.1(i) provides that the Court Clerk may grant a first extension of
time, not to exceed fifteen (15) days, within which to serve an answer or other responsive
pleading to the Complaint.
4. Mr. Miscavige is seeking an extension of time from October 16, 2014, up to and
including October 31, 2104, to file a response to the Complaint.
5. This application is made in good faith and not for the purpose of delay, but the
additional time is necessary in order for Mr. Miscavige to prepare a response to the Complaint.
6. By filing this Application, Mr. Miscavige states that he preserves all available
defenses which he may otherwise plead under Fed. R. Civ. P. 12, including, but not limited to,
lack of personal jurisdiction, insufficient service of process, failure to state a claim upon which
relief can be granted, and all other applicable defenses which are or may become available to Mr.
Miscavige.
WHEREFORE, premises considered Defendant David Miscavige hereby applies for the
relief herein requested and for the Court Clerk to grant Defendant a fifteen (15) day extension of
time, to and including October 31, 2014, in which to file a response to the Complaint, as
requested above.
