Case No.: 2:19-cv-01172-DMC

STIPULATION AND ORDER FOR AN 

EXTENSION OF TIME OF 7 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 7 additional days to respond 

to Plaintiff’s opening motion for summary judgment. The current due date is March 2, 2020. The 

new due date will be March 9, 2020. 

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

request in this case overall. There is good cause for this request and not intended to unnecessarily 

delay. Defendant has evaluated the issues raised in Plaintiff’s motion to see whether settlement 

options exist and requests a brief extension of additional time to prepare Defendant’s response to

Plaintiff’s motion for summary judgment. Defendant’s counsel also anticipates some delay from 

the original deadline due to unanticipated sickness and approved sick leave.

Thus, Defendant is respectfully requesting additional time up to and including March 9, 

2020, to prepare Defendant’s response to Plaintiff’s motion for summary judgment. This request 

is made in good faith with no intention to unduly delay the proceedings. Defendant apologizes for 

the delay and any inconvenience caused by the delay.

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

accordingly.

Respectfully submitted,
