UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

On June 19, 2015, the parties filed a stipulation for Defendant to respond to Plaintiff’s opening 

brief. (Doc. 20.) Importantly, the scheduling order in this action allows for “a single thirty (30) day 

extension” by stipulation of the parties. (Doc. 5 at 4, emphasis added.) This extension was used 

previously by Plaintiff, who requested an extension of time on March 18, 2015. (Docs. 14-15.) Beyond 

the single thirty-day extension, “requests to modify [the scheduling] order must be made by written 

motion and will be granted only for good cause.” (Id.) Therefore, the Court construes the stipulation 

of the parties to be a motion by Plaintiff for modification of the Court’s Scheduling Order.

Here, Defendant’s counsel requests the extension of thirty days, reporting it is necessary given 

“his workload, and in order for counsel to review and respond to the issues raised in Plaintiff’s 

motion.” (Doc. 20 at 1.) Plaintiff does not oppose the request for an extension. (See id. at 1- 2).
