request for an extension. This request is made at the request of Plaintiff’s counsel 

to allow additional time to fully research the issues presented. As the Court is 

aware Counsel has been dealing with a high-risk pregnancy with multiple 

complications that has further resulted in unscheduled medical leave. On August 

14, 2019, counsel underwent inducement four weeks due to her health. Counsel’s 

premature child required hospitalization this past week due to further illness. As a 

result of the high-risk pregnancy and prior family health illnesses Counsel has a 

heavy briefing / Motion schedule and hearing calendar. In addition, Counsel’s 

now five-month-old tested positive for the flu, and has required constant 24-hour 

care these past two weeks. Counsel respectfully makes this request in good faith.
