Case No.: 2:16-cv-01651-TLN-CMK
STIPULATION FOR AN EXTENSION OF
TIME OF 14 DAYS FOR DEFENDANT’S
RESPONSE TO PLAINTIFF’S MOTION
FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT
19
IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED, by and between the parties, through their respective
20
counsel of record, that Defendant shall have an extension of time of an additional 14 days to
21
respond to Plaintiff’s motion for summary judgment. This is the first continuance sought by
22
Defendant. The current due date is February 6, 2017. The new due date will be February 21,
23
2017 (February 20, 2017 is a federal holiday).
24
There is good cause for this request. At around the time of the filing of Plaintiff’s Motion
25
for Summary Judgment, Defendant’s counsel was recovering from two recent medical
26
emergencies that necessitated her being on leave for multiple weeks. The first medical
27
emergency occurred in late October 2016, that necessitated her being on leave and addressing
28
her workload deadlines that were postponed due to her leave, as well as her regular workload,
1
1
when she returned to work in November. In addition, on December 9, 2016, Defendant’s
2
counsel was rear-ended in a car accident caused by another driver. Between the December
3
accident and the current date, Defendant’s counsel had taken about three weeks of leave to
4
recover and rest, and returned to the office on January 9, 2017. In addition to her existing
5
workload when she returned, new emergency assignments had been assigned to Defendant’s
6
counsel this past week that cannot be reassigned to another attorney and prevent Defendant’s
7
counsel from meeting the original deadline of February 6, 2017.
8
Because of the factors described above, Defendant is requesting additional time up to and
9
including February 21, 2017, to fully review the record and research the issues presented by
10
Plaintiff’s motion for summary judgment, as Defendant’s counsel continues to recover and
11
address her workload. This request is made in good faith with no intention to unduly delay the
12
proceedings.
13
14
The parties further stipulate that the Court’s Scheduling Order shall be modified
accordingly.

Respectfully submitted,
Date: February 6, 2017
