Pursuant to Civil L.R. 6-1, 6-2, and 7-12, the parties, by and through their respective 

counsel of record, stipulate and agree as follows:

1. The Court’s Civil Minutes dated October 1, 2015, provide that if the parties are 

unable to resolve a dispute over the methodology of fees and penalties, defendants are to file 

their motion on the issue by November 5, 2015, and plaintiff is to file its opposition by 

November 29, 2015, which is aSunday. A hearing on the motion and further case management 

conference is set for December 17, 2015. Dkt. No. 263.

2. The parties seek to enlarge the deadlines set forth in the Civil Minutes, and 

propose that the due date for defendant’s brief be set for November 12, 2015, and the due date 

for plaintiff’s opposition be set for December 3, 2015. 

3. The parties make this request because defendants seek an additional week to file 

their brief, as well as additional time to continue meet and confer efforts. Plaintiff’s request the 

additional time so that work on any opposition need not take place around the Thanksgiving 

holiday. 

4. This is the first proposed time modification regarding this briefing schedule.
