Pursuant to Local Rule 144, Defendant HCR MANORCARE, INC. and Plaintiff 

LILIA LOPEZ hereby stipulate and request, through their respective counsel, as follows:

(1) Defendant’s deadline for filing a response to Plaintiff’s Complaint, filed in the 

Sacramento County Superior Court on December 2, 2020, and timely removed by Defendant to this 

Court on February 28, 2020, shall be extended to May 8, 2020 (i.e., 35 days from the current

responsive pleading deadline). 

(2) The parties obtained an initial extension of time (equal to 28 days) for 

Defendant to file a responsive pleading in this matter, pursuant to Local Rule 144(a). The current 

deadline for Defendant’s responsive pleading, by virtue of this initial extension of time, is April 3, 

2020. 

(3) Good cause exists for granting the parties’ stipulated request for an additional 

extension of time for Defendant to file a responsive pleading. This extension is requested to allow 

the parties to explore early resolution of this matter before incurring further litigation expenses. The 

additional time is also necessary as Defendant is focused on safe and effective operation of its longterm care facilities (which provide services to residents identified as at heightened risk of severe 

illness due to coronavirus infection) during the public health crisis caused by the COVID-19 

pandemic.
