Case No.: 2:19-cv-01246-DMC

STIPULATION FOR EXTENSION OF 

TIME FOR DEFENDANT TO RESPOND 

TO PLAINTIFF’S MOTION FOR 

SUMMARY JUDGMENT AND ORDER

Plaintiff and Defendant, through their respective attorneys, and subject to the approval of 

the Court, hereby stipulate that Defendant shall have an extension of time of 45 days, up to and 

including Monday, April 20, 2020, in which to file and serve his response to Plaintiff’s Motion for 

Summary Judgment. Plaintiff shall have 15 days, up to and including May 5, 2020, to file and 

serve her optional reply. 

Defense counsel needs an extension of time because the attorney responsible for briefing 

needs additional time to complete review and analysis of the 622-page record, consider the issues 

raised in Plaintiff’s brief, determine whether options exist for settlement, accommodate competing 

workload demands, draft the response, and go through the necessary in-house reviews. With

regard to competing workload demands, in March, defense counsel has eleven additional District 

Court briefs due, half of which courts have already extended once. Currently, the Office of the 

General Counsel has undergone an unforeseen reduction of several staff attorneys; our office is 

starting the process of hiring and management would have difficulty reassigning this case to 

another attorney. In addition, in March, defense counsel’s sister is expecting twins and she plans 

to take some leave to support her. This request is made in good faith with no intention to delay 

unduly the proceedings. Counsel apologizes to the Court and Plaintiff for any inconvenience this 

delay may cause.

This is Defendant’s first request for an extension to file a response to Plaintiff’s Motion for 

Summary Judgment. 

Respectfully submitted,

Dated: March 2, 2020
