IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

ROBERT HEGARTY,

Plaintiff,

v.

TRANSAMERICA LIFE INSURANCE 

COMPANY,

Defendant.

Case No. 19-cv-06006-MMC 

ORDER GRANTING ADMINISTRATIVE 

MOTION TO EXTEND TIME TO FILE 

RESPONSE TO MAY 18, 2020 ORDER

Re: Doc. No. 45

On May 18, 2020, the Court denied defendant Transamerica Life Insurance 

Company’s (“Transamerica”) motion to dismiss and scheduled for hearing, to be held

June 19, 2020, plaintiff Robert Hegarty’s (“Hegarty”) motion for preliminary injunction;

further, in connection with said hearing, the Court afforded the parties an opportunity to 

“submit, no later than June 5, 2020, additional declarations and exhibits.” (See Order 

filed May 18, 2020, at 2.) 

Now before the Court is Transamerica’s “Administrative Motion to Extend Time to 

File Response to May 18, 2020 Order,” filed June 5, 2020, whereby Transamerica seeks 

an order extending to June 19, 2020, “the parties’ deadline to submit declarations and 

exhibits,” and continuing the above-referenced hearing “to a date that is convenient for 

the Court.” (See Mot. at 3:17-21.) In support thereof, Transamerica states its offices are 

closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, “there has been substantial turnover at 

Transamerica over the years,” and, under such combined circumstances, any additional 

declarations and exhibits “may take another week or so to collect.” (See id. at 2:15-17.) 

On June 5, 2020, Hegarty filed opposition, asserting he would be “forced to file his 

supplemental materials without seeing Transamerica’s” (see Opp’n at 2:10-11), after

which he timely filed three declarations.

Although, as Hegarty points out, Transamerica did not file the instant motion until 

the date supplemental materials were due, the Court finds Transamerica would be unduly

prejudiced if not afforded the opportunity to file additional declarations and exhibits. 

Accordingly, Transamerica’s motion is hereby GRANTED, the deadline for both

parties to file additional declarations and exhibits is hereby EXTENDED to June 19, 2020, 

and the hearing on Hegarty’s motion for preliminary injunction is hereby CONTINUED to 

July 10, 2020, at 9:00 a.m.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: June 10, 2020
