William K. Harrington, the United States Trustee for Region 2 ("United States Trustee"), through counsel, respectfully moves an extension of time to 5:00 p.m. on Tuesday, June 27 2023 to respond and/or object to the First Interim Fee Application of Paul Hastings, LLP (ECF 1831) ("PH Application") and the First Interim Fee Application of Neubert Pepe & Monteith, PC (ECF 1851) ("NPM Application", and together collectively with the PH Application, the "Fee Applications"). The United States Trustee seeks this extension to respond and/or object to the Fee Applications with the consent of both firms.

The Fee Applications are currently scheduled for a hearing on June 29, 2023. ECF 1836 and 1855. The deadline to respond to the PH Application is currently June 23, 2023. ECF 1836. The deadline to respond to the NPM Application is currently June 26, 2023. ECF 1855. The United States seeks an extension of time to June 27, 2023 at 5:00 pm to respond and/or object to the Fee Applications.

In support of this motion, the United States Trustee advises that he has raised concerns with both firms regarding the Fee Applications. The United States Trustee is currently engaged in active discussions with both firms to try to achieve a consensual resolution of those concerns,

and such discussions may obviate the need to file objections. Additional time to continue

discussions would be productive and provide the opportunity to reach a consensual resolution.
