Case No. 2:15-cv-0767-CKD

STIPULATION AND ORDER TO 

EXTEND BRIEFING SCHEDULE

IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED by the parties, through their undersigned attorneys, to 

extend Defendant’s time to file her cross-motion for summary judgment with the Court by 45 

days to February 22, 2016, and that all other scheduling dates set forth in the Court’s Case 

Management Order shall be extended accordingly. This is Defendant’s first request for an 

extension of time in this matter, and she requests it in good faith and without any intent to 

prolong proceedings unduly. 

There is good cause for this extension because counsel for Defendant will be out of the 

office on scheduled leave throughout late December 2015 and early January 2016; thus, counsel 

for Defendant requires an extension to properly consider and research the issues presented in

Plaintiff’s summary judgment motion. Furthermore, additional time is required because counsel 

for Defendant is responsible for drafting various pleadings before the district courts within the 

Ninth Circuit, negotiating or litigating attorney fee matters pursuant to the Equal Access to 

Justice Act, and drafting substantive motions in personnel-related litigation matters pending 

before the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.
