STIPULATION AND JOINT MOTION TO EXTEND DEADLINE TO FILE MOTION TO DISMISS 

No. C 07-2184 (EDL) 2

Act of 1973, 29 U.S.C. § 701 et seq., and alleged retaliation in violation of Title VII of the Civil

Rights Act of 1964, 42 U.S.C. § 2000e. At the initial case management conference, defendant

indicated that it intended to serve a motion to dismiss plaintiff’s complaint for lack of subject

matter jurisdiction based on plaintiff’s failure to timely file her federal discrimination complaint. 

The Court allowed defendant a limited time to conduct discovery on the jurisdictional issue and

set a deadline of May 6, 2008 as the last day for defendant to file its motion. A hearing on the

motion as well as another case management conference were scheduled for June 10, 2008.

The requested extension is necessary because of the exigencies of defense counsel’s

caseload. Counsel was out of the office on official travel from April 4 through April 11, 2008

and also on April 16 and 17, 2008. Counsel will again be traveling to Washington, D.C. and

South Carolina on previously-scheduled official business from April 21 through April 30, 2008. 

On Thursday, April 17, 2008, counsel for defendant contacted plaintiff by phone. 

Plaintiff consented and agreed to the extensions of the deadline for the filing of defendant’s

motion and the date for the hearing on the motion and the next case management conference.

There have been no previous requests for an extension of these deadlines.

Accordingly, the parties respectfully request that the Court grant the parties’ stipulation

and joint motion for a brief extension of both the deadline for the filing of defendant’s motion to

dismiss for lack of subject matter jurisdiction and the date for the hearing on defendant’s motion

and the next case management conference. 

IT IS SO STIPULATED:
