UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

TIFFANY FAHRNI, et al.,

Plaintiffs,

v.

COUNTY OF TULARE, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 1:23-cv-01265-ADA-SAB

ORDER RE STIPULATION TO EXTEND 

TIME FOR ANTHONY CEJA TO RESPOND 

TO COMPLAINT

(ECF No. 15)

DEADLINE: OCTOBER 27, 2023

On October 3, 2023, a stipulation was filed to extend time for Anthony Ceja, MFT1to 

respond to the complaint by thirty days. The parties are advised that pursuant to the Local Rules 

of the Eastern District of California, an initial extension of time to respond to the compliant that 

does not exceed twenty-eight days does not need to be approved by the Court. L.R. 144(a). 

Since the requested extension of time here was for thirty days, it does require court approval and 

the parties should have submitted a proposed order. See L.R. 143(b). In the future, the parties 

shall submit a proposed order when filing a stipulation that requires court approval.

The stipulation filed by the parties on October 3, 3023 states that Defendant, Anthony 

Ceja, MFT was served with the complaint on or about September 7, 2023, and believes the 

deadline to respond to the complaint was September 28, 2023. (ECF No. 15.) The parties agree 

1 Attorneys for Defendant assert Defendant, “Anthony Ceja, MFT” was erroneously sued and served as “Anthony 

Ceja, AMFT.” (ECF No. 15.) The Court shall herein refer to the Defendant as Anthony Ceja, MFT.
