Defendants.

No. C 13-3549 MMC

/

Before the Court is plaintiff’s Administrative Motion to Enlarge Time, by which

19

plaintiff seeks to extend the deadline for the filing of opposition to defendants’ motion to

20

dismiss until a date after the Court’s ruling on plaintiff’s motion to remand. Defendants

21

have filed opposition to the requested enlargement of time, noting plaintiff’s refusal to agree

22

to defendants’ request to extend the deadline for defendants’ response to the complaint

23

until after resolution of the jurisdictional question.

24

Although defendants’ argument has a certain equitable appeal, the Court finds the

25

briefing sequence requested by plaintiff would serve both the interests of judicial economy

26

and the parties’ interest in avoiding a potentially unnecessary expenditure of time and

27

resources.

28

Accordingly, plaintiff’s administrative motion is hereby GRANTED, and the deadline

1

for filing opposition to defendants’ motion to dismiss and the deadline for filing defendants’

2

reply thereto will be set at the time the Court rules on the motion to remand.

3

IT IS SO ORDERED.
