UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

A.M.Q.A., et al.,

Plaintiffs,

v.

MONICA B. LUGO, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 1:20-cv-01556-JLT-EPG

ORDER GRANTING PLAINTIFFS’ MOTION 

FOR EXTENSION OF TIME TO FILE 

MOTION FOR LEAVE TO FILE SECOND 

AMENDED COMPLAINT

(ECF No. 48.)

Before the Court is Plaintiffs’ motion for an extension of time to file their motion for 

leave to file a Second Amended Complaint. (ECF No. 48.) This is Plaintiffs’ second request for 

an extension of this deadline. (See ECF Nos. 46, 47.) According to the motion, Plaintiffs’ counsel 

is working in Africa on pro bono domestic violence cases and the internet went down during the 

drafting of the motion for leave to amend. (ECF No. 48.) Plaintiffs request an extension from 

June 3, 2022, to June 6, 2022 to file their motion. (Id.) The motion states that Plaintiffs’ counsel 

requested a stipulation from Defendants and were informed that Defendants did not oppose the 

motion. (Id.) 

In light of the limited extension sought and the representation that Defendants to not 

oppose the motion, the Court will grant Plaintiffs’ request. However, as the Court previously 

reminded the parties, requests for Court-approved extensions brought on or after the required 

filing date are looked upon with disfavor. E.D. Cal. L.R. 144 (d). (See ECF No. 47.) Additionally,

as this case has been pending since October 30, 2020 and the Court has granted the parties’ 

multiple requests to delay scheduling, the Court is not inclined to grant any further requests to 

extend the pleading amendment deadline. (See ECF Nos. 12-13, 15-19, 23-26, 28-30, 35-39, 43-

47.) The parties are further reminded that the deadline to submit a proposed schedule for this case 

remains set for June 10, 2022. (ECF No. 47.) 

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the deadline for Plaintiffs to file a motion 

for leave to amend the complaint is extended to June 6, 2022. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
