Pending the Court’s approval, IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED, by and between the

20

parties, through their respective counsel of record, that the time for Defendant to respond to

21

Plaintiff’s Motion for Summary Judgment be extended thirty (30) days from January 6, 2025, up

22

to and including February 5, 2025. This is Defendant’s first request for an extension.

23

Defendant requests this extension because counsel is currently in the process of

24

determining whether a settlement agreement is possible in this case. Additional time is required

25

for Defendant’s undersigned counsel and specialized attorneys within the undersigned’s office to

26

consider this option. If the case cannot be settled, then Defendant’s counsel will proceed with

27

filing Defendant’s response to Plaintiff’s Motion for Summary Judgment by the new due date of

28

February 5, 2025.
