ORDER DENYING REQUEST
FOR RECONSIDERATION

FLEXTRONICS INTERNATIONAL,
LTD., et al.,
Defendants.

This order construes plaintiff’s “Emergency Ex Parte Application” to enlarge time as a

17

motion for reconsideration of the October 1 order denying the parties’ stipulation to enlarge the

18

briefing schedule on defendants’ motion for partial summary judgment (Dkt. Nos. 71–73).

19

Aside from being procedurally deficient under Local Rule 7-9, the motion does not set out any

20

facts constituting emergency circumstances. The “extensive preparation and travel” required for

21

a settlement conference do not justify changing regularly-noticed briefing schedules, and

22

counsel’s failure to effectively balance settlement conference preparation and drafting its

23

summary judgment opposition do not create an cognizable “emergency.” The motion is

24

DENIED.

26

IT IS SO ORDERED.
