The administrative transcript was filed on October 15, 2019. Plaintiff counsel’s office 

inadvertently missed the email and did not calendar the date for service of the letter brief. This 

error was discovered on January 15, 2020. Plaintiff counsel apologizes for the delay and 

inconvenience to the court caused by this error.

Therefore, plaintiff counsel requests additional time to review the file and prepare the 

letter brief. Per Defendant counsel’s email on January 15, 2020, defendant has no objection.

ORDER

The Scheduling Order may be modified only for good cause and with the Court’s 

consent. Fed. R. Civ. P. 16(b)(4). A calendaring error is generally not considered good cause. 

See Sprague v. Fin. Credit Network, Inc., 2018 WL 4616688, at *3-4 (E.D. Cal. Sept. 25, 2018). 

Moreover, requests for Court-approved extensions brought on or after the applicable deadline are

looked upon with disfavor. Local Rule 144(d). Nonetheless, based upon the parties’ consent to 

extension, and in the interest of justice, the Court finds that a limited continuance as requested is 

warranted and no prejudice will result. 

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED, that that the deadline for Plaintiff to file a 

letter brief is extended to February 15, 2020. All other dates in the Court’s Scheduling Order are 

extended accordingly. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
