DECLARATION OF PETER J. KEITH REGARDING GOOD CAUSE

I, Peter J. Keith, declare as follows:

1. I am a Deputy City Attorney for the San Francisco City Attorney’s Office, counsel of 

record in this case for defendant City and County of San Francisco. Unless otherwise indicated, I have 

personal knowledge of the facts set forth below. 

2. The City filed its motion to dismiss (Dkt. No. 7) and special motion to strike the 

Complaint (Dkt. No. 6) on November 17, 2015. Plaintiff is proceeding pro se and is not registered for 

electronic filing. Therefore, these papers were served by mail. Plaintiff’s opposition was therefore 

due on December 4, 2015. Plaintiff filed his opposition, however, on December 9, 2015. Plaintiff’s 

opposition was served by mail, so I did not receive it that day. Therefore, under Local Rule 7-3(c), the 

City’s reply is currently due on Monday December 21, 2015. (The local rule could also be read to 

have made the City’s reply brief due on December 14, 2015, regardless of the fact that Plaintiff’s 

opposition was filed late.) 

3. Good cause for an extension exists. Plaintiff’s late filing of his opposition resulted in 

my not being able to prepare the reply brief during days when I had time available to do so, early in 

the week of December 7. Since the middle of that week and for all of this week (of December 14) 

substantially all of my working time has been devoted to preparation of an appellate reply brief in the 

case City and County of San Francisco v. Regents of the University of California et al., Case No. 

A144500, which is due on Friday December 18. I am the Deputy City Attorney responsible for that 

appeal, which involves a tax matter that is worth several million dollars per year in tax revenue to San 

Francisco. As a consequence of the pressing need to complete that appellate brief, in this case I have 

not had adequate time to prepare a complete and concise reply brief. 

4. Mr. Jen does not oppose the request. On Tuesday December 15 I contacted Mr. Jen by 

email to ask whether he opposed this request for an extension. He sent me an email stating that he did 

not object to the request. A true and correct copy of Mr. Jen’s email is attached as Exhibit A.

5. No previous modification of the briefing schedule has been requested.

6. The requested modification is not expected to affect any other deadline in the case. 

Hearing on the motion is set for January 21, 2016, so the filing of a reply brief on December 23, 2015 

is expected to permit the Court adequate time to review the motion papers in advance of the hearing. 

I declare under penalty of perjury of the laws of the United States and of California that the 

foregoing is true and correct. Executed this 15th day of December 2015, in San Francisco, California. 

/s/ Peter J. Keith

PETER J. KEITH

CONCLUSION 

For the foregoing reasons, San Francisco respectfully requests that the Court issue an order 

extending the time for the City to file its reply brief on December 23, 2015.
