Case No. 1:15-cv-01676-SAB
ORDER RE STIPULATION FOR AN
EXTENSION OF TIME
(ECF No. 15)

19

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

20

counsel of record, that the time for Defendant to respond to Plaintiff’s Motion for Summary

21

Judgment be extended 30 days to and including October 12, 2016. This is Defendant’s second

22

request for an extension of time to respond to Plaintiff’s motion. Defense counsel needs the

23

additional time to further review the file and prepare a response in this matter due to a heavy

24

workload, including a Ninth Circuit case and several other district court cases as well as other

25

substantive work in the areas of bankruptcy and civil rights, despite due diligence.

26
27
28

The parties further stipulate that the remaining dates in the Court’s Scheduling Order
shall be modified accordingly.
Defense counsel apologizes to the Court for any inconvenience caused by this delay.
