Pursuant to Local Rule 7-12, Plaintiff Abdul Ghafoor (“Plaintiff”) and Defendant 

Emirates (“Defendant,” and collectively with Ghafoor, the “Parties”), stipulate as recited 

below:

WHEREAS, on July 20, 2015, Defendant filed a motion for judgment on the 

pleadings (Dkt. No. 23);

WHEREAS, pursuant to Local Rule 7-3, Plaintiff’s opposition must be filed and 

served not more than 14 days after the motion was filed, and as such Plaintiff’s opposition 

is due August 3, 2015;

WHEREAS, pursuant to Local Rule 7-3, Defendant’s reply to any opposition must 

be filed and served not more than 7 days after the opposition was due, and as such 

Defendant’s reply is due August 10, 2015;

WHEREAS, on July 30, 2015, Plaintiff’s counsel contacted Defendant’s counsel

regarding settlement negotiations and to make a settlement demand on behalf of Plaintiff;

WHEREAS, on July 31, 2015, Defendant’s counsel informed Plaintiff’s counsel 

that, due to the time difference, representatives for Defendant, who are located in Dubai, 

likely will be unable to respond to Plaintiff’s settlement demand until at least August 3, 

2015;

WHEREAS, the Parties agree that good cause exists for the Court to extend the 

date of Defendant’s opposition and Plaintiff’s reply by one week each to allow for ongoing 

settlement discussions and possible resolution of the case, such that Defendant’s 

opposition would be due on August 10, 2015 and Plaintiff’s reply would be due on August 

17, 2015;

WHEREAS, this is the first request to modify the briefing schedule for the motion 

for judgment on the pleadings;

WHEREAS, the Parties do not anticipate that granting this stipulation will have any

approval, as follows (and as reflected in the table below):
