Defendants.

ORDER [41]

18
19

On December 7, 2015, Defendants filed an Ex Parte Application requesting a

20

limited modification of the scheduling order. (ECF No. 41, Ex Parte App.) This

21

application asks the Court to: (1) extend Defendants’ deadline to serve rebuttal

22

damages experts’ reports from December 18, 2015 to December 31, 2015; extend both

23

parties’ deadline to conduct expert witness discovery from December 31, 2015 to

24

January 15, 2016. (Id. 1–2.) While Defendants’ Ex Parte Application alludes to

25

Plaintiff’s objections, Plaintiff has yet to file any oppositional papers to the

26

Application itself. (See Id. 3.) Per this Court’s Standing Order, oppositions to ex

27

parte applications must be filed within 24 hours of electronic service. (Standing

28

Order, VII-C.)

1

Where a party does not oppose a Motion, the Court may grant it. See Local

2

Rule 7-9, 7-12; cf. Nomura v. Amazon.com, Inc., No. C-11-01210 HRL, 2013 WL

3

4928229, at *3 (N.D. Cal. Sept. 12, 2013) (“Nonopposition alone is sufficient to grant

4

[a] motion . . . .”). Therefore, the Court GRANTS Defendants’ Ex Parte Application

5

for a Limited Modification of the Scheduling Order.

6

The deadline for Defendant to serve rebuttal damages experts’ reports is hereby

7

extended from December 18, 2015, to December 31, 2015, and the cut-off for both

8

parties to conduct expert witness discovery is extended from December 31, 2015 to

9

January 15, 2016.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
