This action was filed on December 20, 2016 pursuant to the Administrative Procedures

18 Act, 5 U.S.C. §706 et. seq. On February 28, 2017, Defendants filed a motion for an extension of
19 time to file a responsive pleading.
20

The Local Rules provide that all motions shall be noticed on the motion calendar of the

21 assigned judge and the responding party shall file an opposition or statement of non-opposition
22 fourteen days prior to the noticed hearing date. L.R. 230(a)(b). In this instance, Defendants state
23 that the motion is unopposed. The Court will not require a noticed motion, but will require
24 Plaintiff to file an opposition or statement of non-opposition to the motion for an extension of
25 time.
26

Alternately, the Local Rules provide that an initial 28 day extension of time to respond to

27 the complaint may be filed without approval of the Court and all other extensions of time must
28 be approved by the court. L.R. 144(a). If the request for an extension of time is unopposed,

1

1 Defendants may withdraw the motion and the parties may file a stipulation which the Court will
2 approve upon receipt.
Based on the foregoing, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that within five (5) days of the date

3

5 motion for an extension of time to file a responsive pleading.
