No. 2:11-cv-00414 MCE-KJN

STIPULATION AND ORDER FOR TENDAY EXTENSION FOR DEFENDANTS
Plaintiffs, TO FILE THEIR ANSWER TO THE
CORRECTED FOURTH AMENDED
COMPLAINT

DOCTOR’S HOSPITAL OF MANTECA,
INC., et al.,

Action Filed: February 14, 2011

Defendants.

21

Under Federal Rules of Civil Procedure 6(b) and 15(a)(3) and Local Rules 143 and 144(a),

22

Plaintiff and Defendants Allen, Bangi, Krpan, and St. Clair (CDCR Defendants), by and through

23

their counsel of record, agree to a ten-day extension for CDCR Defendants to file their answer to

24

the corrected fourth amended complaint, filed on November 30, 2015. (ECF No. 117.) The

25

response is currently due on December 14, 2015.

26

When an act must be done within a specified time, the court may, for good cause, extend

27

the time with or without motion or notice if the court acts, or if a request is made, before the

28

original time expires. Fed. R. Civ. P. 6(b)(1)(A), 15(a)(3) (stating, in pertinent part, that a
1

1

response to an amended pleading is due fourteen days after service unless the court orders

2

otherwise). Good cause exists to grant this motion because CDCR Defendants require more time

3

to prepare their answer. Defense counsel will be unable to complete the answer by the current

4

deadline due to working on more immediate deadlines in her other cases, including trial-related

5

documents. Also, defense counsel needs more time to finish reviewing the relevant medical

6

records to be able to adequately respond to the allegations in the amended pleading. The parties

7

therefore agree to a ten-day extension, up to and including December 24, 2015, for CDCR

8

Defendants to file their answer.

9

IT IS SO STIPULATED.
