As set forth in the Scheduling Order of June 30, 2008, this Court will not entertain any stipulations to continue deadlines. (Doc. 105.) Therefore, the Court will consider this a Motion for Extension for Time. Furthermore, despite the parties' failure to provide the Court with good cause for such extensions, the Court will grant this extension as a one-time courtesy.1 However, counsel is advised that when a motion for such a change to a court order is made, a reason shall be set forth for the Court to consider, and "very good cause" shall be established for such

Counsel is advised that future failure to comply with this Court's Orders or the Local and/or Civil Rules of Procedure will result in papers being stricken from the docket.
