JEANETTE SEPEDA,

Case No.: 1:14-cv-00228- JLT
ORDER GRANTING PLAINTIFF AN
EXTENSION OF TIME TO FILE AN OPENING
BRIEF
(Doc. 17)

16
17

On December 1, 2014, the parties stipulated for Plaintiff to have an extension of time file her

18

opening brief. (Doc. 10.) The Scheduling Order allows for “a single thirty (30) day extension” by

19

stipulation of the parties. (Doc. 8 at 4.) Previously, the defendant requested an additional seven days to

20

prepare the administrative record. (Docs. 13-14.) Here, Plaintiff seeks an extension of twenty-one days

21

“to allow additional time to fully research the issues presented.” (Doc. 17 at 2.) Because the parties

22

have not used the full thirty days authorized by the Scheduling Order, the extension is appropriate.

23

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED:

24

1.

Plaintiff’s request for an extension of time is GRANTED; and

25

2.

Plaintiff SHALL file an opening brief on or before December 22, 2014.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
