Case No. 1:15-cv-0581-BAM

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 response to Plaintiff’s opening brief by 30 days to June 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.

There is good cause for this extension because this case was recently reassigned to new 

counsel for Defendant, who needs additional time to become familiar with the facts of the instant 

case and the issues presented in the opening brief. There is also good cause for this extension

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 

Case 1:15-cv-00581-BAM Document 21 Filed 05/23/16 Page 1 of 3

Equal Access to Justice Act, conducting discovery and drafting substantive pleadings in 

personnel-related litigation pending before the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, and 

preparing for a hearing in personnel litigation pending before the Merit Systems Protection 

Board. Accordingly, Defendant needs additional time to prepare her responsive brief.

Counsel for Defendant apologizes to the Court for any inconvenience caused by this 

delay.
