UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

On August 3, 2015, the parties filed an amended stipulation to extend time for Plaintiff to serve 

a confidential letter brief. (Doc. 13) Importantly, the scheduling order in this action allows for “a 

single thirty (30) day extension” by stipulation of the parties. (Doc. 5 at 4, emphasis added) An 

extension of time was granted by the Court on July 8, 2015. (Docs. 10-12) Beyond the single thirtyday extension, “requests to modify [the scheduling] order must be made by written motion and will be 

granted only for good cause.” (Doc. 5 at 4) Further, the parties are cautioned that “[r]equests for 

modification of th[e] briefing schedule will not be routinely granted. (Id., emphasis in original) 

Therefore, the Court construes the stipulation of the parties to be a motion by Plaintiff for modification 

of the Court’s Scheduling Order.

Here, Plaintiff’s counsel asserts the further extension of time is necessary “due to overwork 

despite due diligence, in conjunction with the moving and selling of a personal residence of 19 years.” 

(Doc. 13 at 2) Further, Defendant does not oppose the extension of time. (Id.)
