IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

LEKECIA C. MILAM,

Plaintiff,

 v.

BAYER CORPORATION, et al.,

Defendants. /

No. C 09-05902 JSW

ORDER RE MOTION TO STAY

On January 18, 2010, Defendants filed a Motion to Stay, which they noticed for hearing

on February 19, 2010, the same date that Plaintiff’s Motion to Remand is set to be heard. Under

Northern District Local Rule 7-2(a), Defendants were required to notice a hearing date “not less

than 35 days after service of the motion.” Although the noticed hearing date did not comply

with that rule, Plaintiff has not raised an objection to the hearing date, and the Court finds it

convenient to hear the motions together. 

On February 3, 2010, Plaintiff filed its opposition to the motion to stay. Pursuant to the

Local Rules, the opposition was due on January 29, 2010, twenty-one days before the hearing

date. See N.D. Civ. L.R. 7-3(a). Because Defendants did not comply with the Local Rules

regarding the hearing date, the Court shall excuse Plaintiff’s late filing and shall give

Defendants a brief extension of time to file their reply. Accordingly, Defendants’ reply shall be

due by no later than Tuesday, February 9, 2010.
