Case No.: 1:15-cv-01835 LJO JLT
ORDER GRANTING IN PART REQUEST FOR
AN EXTENSION OF TIME TO FILE BRIEFS
(Doc. 27)

In this action, the child seeks review of an administrative decision unfavorable to his/her

18

position related to his IDEA claims. The Court set deadlines by which the opening, opposing and

19

reply briefs were due and set the date for the hearing on the briefs. (Doc. 11) However, due to

20

circumstances out of control of Plaintiff’s counsel, the child is not prepared to file the opening brief.

21

(Doc. 27) The child seeks an extension of time to August 10, 2016. Id. at 2. No party opposes the

22

request but requests that the Court set a further scheduling conference to re-set the balance of the case

23

deadlines. Id. However, there is no showing why extending the deadlines regarding the briefs on the

24

administrative record requires the Court to amend the remaining case deadlines. Thus, the Court

25

ORDERS:
