The parties stipulated to an extension of time for defendants to respond to the amended

22

complaint (Dkt. No. 27). Under Local Rule 6-1(a), this is permissible without a court order. The

23

parties, however, further agreed to a modified briefing schedule for defendants’ motions to

24

dismiss. Although the briefing schedule departs significantly from the normal 35-day track, the

25

parties have not provided adequate justification for such departure. Accordingly, this briefing

26

schedule is DENIED. Defendants will file the motions to dismiss on a normal 35-day track.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
Dated: October 7, 2013.
