Plaintiff,

ORDER DENYING EXTENSION

v.
[ECF No. 18]

DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND
HUMAN SERVICES, et al.,

15

Defendant.

On August 12, 2011, the parties filed a stipulation to extend Plaintiff’s time to respond to

18

Defendants’ motion to dismiss from August 19, 2011 to September 26, 2011. ECF No. 18 at 2. As

19

the parties acknowledge, this schedule does not comport with the current Civil Local Rules, which

20

fix the deadlines for filing opposition and reply briefs. (It also does not comport with the old rules

21

regarding the 35-day filing deadlines for motions.) The court does not find good cause for a 28-day

22

extension and, accordingly, DENIES the parties’ requested extension. N.D. Cal. L.R. 6-2(b) (“After

23

receiving a stipulated request under this Rule, the Judge may grant, deny or modify the requested

24

time change.”). However, the court EXTENDS Plaintiff’s time to file an opposition to September 6,

25

2011. Defendants’ optional reply is due September 13, 2011.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
