Case No.: 2:15-cv-02435-KJN

ORDER RE STIPULATION FOR AN 

EXTENSION OF TIME OF 30 DAYS FOR 

DEFENDANT’S RESPONSE TO 

PLAINTIFF’S MOTION FOR SUMMARY 

JUDGMENT

IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED, by and between the parties, through their respective 

counsel of record, that Defendant shall have an extension of time of an additional 30 days to 

respond to Plaintiff’s motion for summary judgment. This is the first continuance sought by 

Defendant. The current due date is July 21, 2016. The new due date will be August 22, 2016 

(August 20, 2016, falls on a Saturday). 

There is good cause for this request. Defendant is seeking this extension due to workload 

issues. Since the filing of Plaintiff’s motion for summary judgment, additional unanticipated 

developments in defense counsel’s two other district court cases have arisen and require 

additional briefing due on July 21, 2016, and July 22, 2016. In addition, for the last month, 

Defendant’s counsel was limited in her ability to work on this case due to an Equal Employment

Opportunity Commission (EEOC) case which has also been extended, and counsel will continue 

to be limited in her schedule from briefing of this case involving voluminous records of multiple 

cases.

Moreover, Defendant requests an additional 30 days to submit her response due to the 

fact that Defendant’s counsel will be absent on pre-approved leave at the end of July and early 

August. Because of the factors described above, Defendant is requesting additional time up to 

and including August 22, 2016, to fully review the record and research the issues presented by 

Plaintiff’s motion for summary judgment. This request is made in good faith with no intention to 

unduly delay the proceedings. 

The parties further stipulate that the Court’s Scheduling Order shall be modified 

accordingly.

Respectfully submitted,
