STIPULATION FOR CONTINUANCE OF BRIEFING SCHEDULE 

ON DEFENDANTS’ MOTION TO DISMISS CLAIMS

STIPULATION

WHEREAS, the above-captioned action was removed to federal court by Defendants on or 

about April 5, 2022;

WHEREAS, Defendants filed a Motion to Dismiss Plaintiff Wylie’s Claims on April 12, 

2022, which is set for hearing on June 27, 2022, at 1:30 P.M., in Courtroom 5 (ECF Dkt No. 6);

WHEREAS, Plaintiff contends she needs additional time to prepare the response to 

Defendants’ Motion, which is presently due 14 days from the date of filing of Defendants’ 

motions (by April 26, 2022) under Local Rule 230(c);

WHEREAS, Defendants do not object to a 15-day extension of the current briefing 

schedule;

WHEREAS, Plaintiff contend good cause exists to a proposed extension of the current 

briefing schedule on Defendants’ Motion to Dismiss Plaintiff’s Claims by at least 15 days to 

permit Plaintiff additional time to prepare the response to the Motion filed by Defendants, 

particularly as this case is one of four potentially related cases recently removed to federal court 

by Defendants and anticipates additional motions practice in those cases with near-in-time 

deadlines for responses;

WHEREAS, this is the first-such request for an extension of time; and

WHEREAS, this stipulated request is made prior to Plaintiff’s deadline for response to 

Defendants’ Motion and the hearing date on the Court’s calendar is more than 7 days away,

NOW, THEREFORE, THE PARTIES STIPULATE TO THE FOLLOWING:

1. Plaintiff’s deadline to file a response to Defendants’ Motion to Dismiss Claims 

shall be extended by approximately 15 days, to May 11, 2022;

2. Defendants’ deadline to file a reply in support of Defendants’ Motion to Dismiss 

Claims shall be filed no later than 14 days after Plaintiff’s response to Defendants’ Motion to 

Dismiss Claims is filed, to May 25, 2022;

3. The hearing on Defendants’ Motion to Dismiss Claims shall remain as noticed for 

June 27, 2022 at 1:30 P.M., in Courtroom 5.
