ORDER

Based on the above stipulation, the Court GRANTS Defendant an extension of time to 

respond to Plaintiff’s Opening Brief. Defendant’s Opposition Brief shall be filed no later than 

December 13, 2016. Any reply by Plaintiff may be filed no later than December 28, 2016. 

The Court has further reviewed Defendant’s response to its Order to Show Cause. (ECF 

No. 24.) While the Court understands that counsel may be responsible for a large number of 

cases, the management of deadlines within those cases is counsel’s responsibility. The Court is 

willing to grant requests for extension of time liberally, but a complete failure to comply with a 

deadline, particularly a deadline that defense counsel himself requested (see ECF No. 21), falls 

well below the standard of practice expected. Nonetheless, the Court will take counsel at his 

word that he is taking measures to ensure that this does not occur again and DISCHARGES the 

Order to Show Cause (ECF No. 23).

IT IS SO ORDERED.
