Dear Counsel:

Plaintiff John Solak ("Plaintiff") filed the above-referenced action to compel Defendant Twitter, Inc. ("Defendant") to provide its books and records for inspection under to 8 Del. C. § 220. Plaintiff filed his Complaint and Motion to Expedite on June 7, 2022.^[1]Plaintiff and Defendant then entered into a series of stipulations extending Defendant's time to respond to the Complaint.^[2] The most recent of these stipulations, which I granted on August 11, provides that Defendant "shall not be required to respond to the Complaint until a date to be mutually agreed upon by the parties or ordered by the Court."^[3]

The parties failed to agree to a date to respond to the Complaint or a schedule for litigating this action. In a status letter submitted to the court on September 28, 2022, however, Plaintiff states that Defendant has failed to respond to Plaintiff's scheduling proposals.^[4] Plaintiff requests that I issue an order requiring Defendant to respond to the Complaint and Motion to Expedite.^[5]

Plaintiff's request is granted. Defendant is hereby ordered to respond to Plaintiff's Complaint and Motion to Expedite no later than 5 p.m., October 26, 2022.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
