request for an extension. As a result of the high-risk pregnancy, premature 

newborn birth, subsequent hospitalizations and prior health illnesses of Counsel’s 

mother, Counsel had a heavy briefing/ motions and hearing calendar. 

Counsel had to take unscheduled leave at the beginning of February due to 

Counsel’s son falling ill with Respiratory Syncytial Virus Infection. To add to 

matters, Counsel’s mother fell and suffered a severe comminuted 20 place fracture 

of her femur in San Diego. After emergency surgery on March 1, 2020, she 

required full time care due to immobility. Due to COVID-19, Counsel’s mother 

compromised immune system, Counsel’s mother was not allowed to go to a 

rehabilitation center and has taken full care of her mother. This request is made in 

good faith. On May 5, 2020, Counsel’s mother fell while attempting to use the 

bedside restroom. Counsel spent the rest of the week making sure that no 

displacement or new fracture occurred. As such, her motion calendar became 

backed logged.
