ORDER RE EXTENSION OF TIME
FOR DEFENDANTS WINSLOW AND
IGBINOSA TO FILE RESPONSE TO
COMPLAINT
(Doc. 11.)
DEADLINE: JULY 3, 2014

17

Dale D. Selvick (APlaintiff@) is a state prisoner proceeding with counsel in this civil

18

rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. ' 1983. Plaintiff filed the Complaint commencing this

19

action on March 11, 2014. (Doc. 1.)

20

On June 9, 2014, Plaintiff and defendants Winslow and Igbinosa filed a stipulation

21

under Local Rule 144(a) extending time until July 3, 2014 for defendants Winslow and

22

Igbinosa to respond to the Complaint. (Doc. 11.) The parties also submitted a proposed order

23

for the court.

24

In this instance, a court order is not needed to extend time. Local Rule 144(a) provides

25

that “[u]nless the filing date has been set by order of the Court, an initial stipulation extending

26

time for no more than twenty-eight (28) days to respond to a complaint . . . may be filed

27

without approval of the Court if the stipulation is signed on behalf of all parties who have

28

appeared in the action and are affected by the stipulation. All other extensions of time must be
1

1

approved by the Court.” L.R. 144(a). The parties’ stipulation satisfies all of the requirements

2

of Local Rule 144(a) to extend time without court approval. Thus, the time for defendants

3

Winslow and Igbinosa to respond to the Complaint was extended to July 3, 2014, by the

4

parties’ stipulation of June 9, 2014.
