Case No.: 2:13-cv-02569-AC 

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 August 25, 2014. The new due date will be September 24, 

2014. 

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

issues. 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 that had an out-of-state 

hearing in Phoenix, Arizona, and involved nine witnesses. While that case’s hearing testimony 

concluded in late July, the judge ordered at the hearing that the parties submit written closing

statements due August 29, 2014, which has required follow-up. Also, defense counsel took leave 

after the hearing due to illness. Moreover, counsel has other workloads including a Ninth Circuit 

case with an opposition brief to a motion to remand due August 25, 2014, another EEOC matter 

with a motion for summary judgment coming due in early September, and at least 16 pending 

district court cases at various stages of litigation in the next month. Because of the factors 

described above, defense counsel is requesting additional time up to and including September 24, 

2014, to fully review the administrative record and research the issues presented by Plaintiff’s 

brief. 

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

accordingly.
