ORDER GRANTING THE REQUEST FOR AN
EXTENSION OF TIME
(Doc. 10)
16
17
On February 3, 2017, the parties filed a stipulation for an extension of time for Plaintiff to file
18
an opening brief in the action. Specifically, the parties stipulated “to extend the time for Plaintiff to
19
file [an] Opening brief to April 7, 2017.” (Doc. 10 at 2)
20
Notably, the Scheduling Order permits a thirty-day extension by the stipulation of parties (Doc.
21
3 at 4), which has not been used by the parties. Because Defendant served its response to Plaintiff’s
22
confidential letter brief on January 3, 2017 (Doc. 9), Plaintiff’s opening brief was due on February 6,
23
2017. (See Doc. 3 at 2) (directing Plaintiff to file an opening brief within thirty days of the date of
24
service if Defendant did not agree to a remand) Thus, Plaintiff seeks an extension of sixty days to file
25
the opening brief.
26
As indicated in the Scheduling Order, any request for modification of the briefing schedule
27
beyond the thirty-days permitted by stipulation “must be made by written motion and will only be
28
granted for good cause.” (Doc. 3 at 4) Plaintiff contends that the extension “is needed in order to
1
1
properly address the issues within the administrative record in this matter.” (Doc. 10 at 2) Because
2
Defendant does not oppose the request, the Court ORDERS:
3
1.
The request for an extension of time is GRANTED;
4
2.
Plaintiff SHALL file an opening brief no later than April 7, 2017; and
5
3.
Plaintiff is advised that no further extensions will be granted without a showing of
exceptional good cause.
