Case No. 1:15-cv-00975-SKO

STIPULATION AND PROPOSED ORDER 

FOR DEFENDANT’S SECOND 

EXTENSION OF TIME TO RESPOND TO 

PLAINTIFF’S OPENING BRIEF

IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED, by and between the undersigned attorneys, subject to the 

approval of the Court, that the deadline for Defendant to file her Opposition Brief be extended 21 

days to May 16, 2016. All other deadlines in the Court’s scheduling order are extended 

accordingly.

This is Defendant’s second request for an extension of time to respond to Plaintiff’s 

opening brief. This request is the result of a heavy workload for counsel responsible for briefing, 

combined with the fact that counsel has been unexpectedly out of the office three times over the 

past few weeks due to her husband’s knee injury. For example, counsel is responsible for 

preparing a Ninth Circuit appellee’s brief by May 10, 2016, as well as her usual caseload of 

federal district court matters. Counsel is requesting a 21 day extension in order to accommodate
