17

On February 6, 2017, the parties filed a stipulation for an extension of time for Defendant to file

18

a response to Plaintiff’s opening brief. (Doc. 15) Notably, the Scheduling Order allows for a single

19

extension of thirty days by the stipulation of the parties (Doc. 7 at 4), which was previously used by

20

Plaintiff. (Docs. 12, 13) Beyond that extension, “requests to modify [the scheduling] order must be

21

made by written motion and will be granted only for good cause.” (Doc. 7 at 4) Based upon the

22

information provided and good cause appearing, the Court ORDERS:

23

1.

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

24

2.

Defendant SHALL file a response to the brief on or before February 27, 2017.
