Case No.: 2:16-cv-00485-EFB 

STIPULATION FOR AN EXTENSION OF 

TIME OF 50 DAYS FOR DEFENDANT’S 

RESPONSE TO PLAINTIFF’S MOTION 

FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT 

IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED, by and between the parties, through their respective 

counsel of record, that Defendant shall have an extension of time of an additional 50 days to 

respond to Plaintiff’s motion for summary judgment. This is the first continuance sought by 

Defendant. The current due date is December 28, 2016. The new due date will be February 16, 

2017. 

There is good cause for this request. Defendant is seeking this extension due to medical 

emergencies, workload issues, and the holidays. At around the time of the filing of Plaintiff’s 

Motion for Summary Judgment, Defendant’s counsel was recovering from a medical emergency 

that occurred Monday, October 24, 2016, that necessitated her being on leave for about a week.

 Upon her return to the office, Defendant’s counsel had to address her workload 

deadlines that were postponed due to her leave, as well as a motion for summary judgment for an 

Equal Employment Opportunity Commission case that required more time to complete due to a 

voluminous record since the case involved multiple matters consolidated into one case over a 

span of a few years. In addition, recently, on December 9, 2016, Defendant’s counsel was rearended in a car accident caused by another driver who did not properly stop at a traffic light, and 

has been on leave to recover from the accident. In addition, Defendant’s counsel was granted 

approval for leave for the holiday season. 

Because of the factors described above, Defendant is requesting additional time up to and 

including February 16, 2017, to fully review the record and research the issues presented by 

Plaintiff’s motion for summary judgment, as Defendant’s counsel recovers and addresses her 

workload upon her return. This request is made in good faith with no intention to unduly delay 

the proceedings. 

The parties further stipulate that the Court’s Scheduling Order shall be modified 

accordingly. 

Respectfully submitted,
