JASON CALL,

Plaintiff,

v.

SA MATT BADGLEY, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 15-cv-03353-HSG 

ORDER GRANTING MOTION FOR 

LEAVE TO EXTEND TIME FOR 

FILING SECOND AMENDED 

COMPLAINT

Re: Dkt. No. 66

Pending before the Court is Plaintiff Jason Call’s motion for leave to extend time to file a 

second amended complaint (“SAC”). Dkt. No. 66. 

Under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 6(b)(1)(B), the Court may, for good cause, extend 

time if a party has failed to act because of excusable neglect. To determine whether Plaintiff has

shown excusable neglect, the Court considers four factors: (1) the danger of prejudice to the 

nonmoving parties; (2) the length of the delay; (3) the reason for the delay; and (4) whether the 

moving party acted in good faith. See Linder v. Bridge, No. 14-CV-03861 SC, 2015 WL 

1778608, at *2 (N.D. Cal. Apr. 17, 2015) (citing Pioneer Inv. Servs. Co. v. Brunswick Assocs. Ltd. 

P’ship, 507 U.S. 380, 395 (1993)). 

Having reviewed Plaintiff’s motion and the County Defendants’ declaration in opposition, 

the Court finds that leave to file the SAC is warranted here. Plaintiff’s counsel has established 

that she acted diligently upon discovering her mistake, and the Court finds no evidence of bad 

faith. In addition, the Court finds minimal risk of prejudice to the nonmoving parties given that 

Plaintiff’s SAC is less than two months late and all parties were aware that Plaintiff had been 

given leave to file an SAC.
