1 On May 20, 2016, the court appointed Rebecca A. Weinstein-Hamilton as co-counsel to 

2 represent plaintiff for the limited purpose of opposing Defendants’ motions for summary 

3 judgment.

4 Based on the very nature of the case, the motions for summary judgment filed by all 

5 defendants are voluminous and necessitate significant attorney time in opposing them. In 

6 addition, medical experts need to be retained to assist in responding to said motions. 

7 An extension of time up to and including October 31, 2016, for Plaintiff to file his 

8 oppositions to the motions for summary judgment will not significantly impact the progress of 

9 this case or unfairly prejudice the Defendants. Defendants’ reply shall be due within forty-five 

10 (45) days after filing of Plaintiff’s opposition to the motions for summary judgment.

11 Plaintiff, by and through his attorney of record –Rebecca E. Ihejirika, and Defendants -

13 General – Kevin W. Reager, together with Defendant – Dr. Khaira by and through his attorney 

14 – Theodore D. Poppinga, hereby stipulate and request that the Court grant the said parties an 

15 extension of the deadline by which Plaintiff shall file his oppositions to the motions for 

16 summary judgment and the Defendants’ shall file their reply. This request is not brought for 

17 any improper purpose.
