COMES NOW the Plaintiff, North Star Gas Company d/b/a YEP Energy by and through its 

attorneys Holland & Knight, LLP and Defendants Pacific Gas and Electric Company, Albert 

Torres, Bill Chen and Tanisha Robinson by and through their attorneys Paul Hastings, LLP and 

hereby file their Stipulated Request for an Enlargement of Time to File Opposition and Reply Briefs 

Regarding Defendants’ Motion to Dismiss and state as follows: 

On November 9, 2016, Defendants filed a Motion to Dismiss Plaintiff’s claims for 

Respondeat Superior and for violation of Section 2 of the Sherman Act. (Dkt. 60.) 

Per Local Rule 7-3(a), Plaintiff’s Brief in Opposition to this Motion is due by November 23, 

2016. 

Per Local Rule 7-3(c), Defendants’ Reply Brief in Support of their Motion to Dismiss is due 

seven days from the filing of Plaintiff’s Opposition, and no later than November 30, 2016. 

Pursuant to the Clerk’s Notice dated November 10, 2016 (Dkt. 62), Defendants have renoticed the Motion to Dismiss for hearing on January 19, 2017. (Dkt. 67.) 

Plaintiff and Defendants now file this stipulated request that the due dates for both the 

Opposition and Reply briefs be enlarged as follows: 

That Plaintiff’s Brief in Opposition to Defendants’ Motion to Dismiss now be due 

December 5, 2016; and 

That Defendants’ Reply in Support of their Motion to Dismiss now be due December 22, 

2016. 

Both enlargements are sought in advance of the expiration of either filing deadline. 

Neither enlargement will change the schedule of case; nor will either change the hearing 

date of January 19, 2016.

Good cause exists for both enlargements because: (1) neither prejudices any of the parties or 

the Court; (2) neither requires resetting the hearing date; (3) both serve to maintain the thirty-five 

(35) day notice schedule contemplated by Local Rule 7-2(a); and (4) both grant the Court the same 

amount of time to review the briefing as is contemplated by that Rule. 

Further, these jointly requested changes to the briefing schedule better comply with the 

Court’s new hearing date and do not seek to change it. 

The parties previously sought an extension of time to respond to the Complaint and to file a 

Brief in Opposition and Reply in regarding Defendants’ Motion to Dismiss the Complaint. That 

request was granted (Dkts. 21-22.) 

THEREFORE, pursuant to Local Rule 6-2(a), the parties respectfully file this stipulated 

request that Plaintiff’s Brief in Opposition to Defendants’ Motion to Dismiss now be due December 

5, 2016; and, that Defendants’ Reply in Support of their Motion to Dismiss correspondingly now be 

due December 22, 2016. The declaration of Leah E. Capritta, required by Local Rule 6-2, is filed 

contemporaneously with this Motion.
