Case No.: 1:16-cv-00967 - LJO - JLT
ORDER DIRECTING PLAINTIFF TO RESPOND
TO THE EX PARTE APPLICATION FOR AN
ORDER SHORTENING TIME NO LATER THAN
NOVEMBER 15, 2017
(Doc. 36)

Defendant seeks an order shortening time to hear its motion to extend the discovery deadlines.

18

(Doc. 36) Pursuant to Local Rule 144(e), “Ex parte applications to shorten time will not be granted

19

except upon affidavit of counsel showing a satisfactory explanation for the need for the issuance of

20

such an order and for the failure of counsel to obtain a stipulation for the issuance of such an order

21

from other counsel or parties in the action.” Here, Defendant has not explained why the amended

22

deadline was not requested via a stipulation, or whether Plaintiff objects to the shortening time.

23
24

Therefore, the Court ORDERS: Plaintiff SHALL file her opposition or notice of nonopposition to the motion for an order shortening time no later than November 15, 2017.
