Case No.: 2:19-cv-01527-EFB 

STIPULATION AND PROPOSED ORDER 

FOR AN EXTENSION OF TIME OF 45 

DAYS FOR DEFENDANT’S RESPONSE TO 

PLAINTIFF’S OPENING BRIEF 

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

counsel of record, that Defendant shall have an extension of time of 45 additional days to respond 

to Plaintiff’s opening motion for summary judgment. The current due date is February 10, 2020. 

The new due date will be March 26, 2020. 

This is Defendant’s first request for an extension of time for briefing and the first request 

for an extension of time in this case overall. There is good cause for this request and not intended 

to delay. Since the filing of Plaintiff’s opening motion for summary judgment, Defendant’s 

counsel has diligently worked on various district court cases and other substantive non-court 

matters, some of which required immediate attention for time-sensitive and ongoing settlement

negotiations initiated by the opposing parties. Furthermore, on and around the original due date 

of February 10, 2020, counsel has competing deadlines of at least four district court matters within 

the week. Counsel also has at least 25 district court and substantive non-court matters scheduled 

between February 10, 2020, to March 26, 2020. Defendant requires additional time to review the 

record in this case to properly evaluate the issues raised in Plaintiff’s opening motion, to consider 

settlement options, and if not settling, to prepare Defendant’s response to Plaintiff’s motion for 

summary judgment. 

Thus, Defendant is respectfully requesting additional time up to and including March 26, 

2020, to respond to Plaintiff’s opening motion for summary judgment. Defendant apologizes for 

the further delay and any inconvenience caused by the delay. 

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

accordingly. 

Respectfully submitted,
