Defendant Mary Allen has filed a Motion to Dismiss Plaintiff’s Complaint (“Motion to
Dismiss”) and noticed it for hearing on February 12, 2013. (Dkt. No. 6.) Plaintiff failed to file a
timely opposition and has filed a request to enlarge time that would allow Plaintiff time to file an
opposition. (Dkt. No. 12.) Plaintiff’s request also seeks to continue the hearing on the Motion to
Dismiss until February 26.
Plaintiff has filed a Motion to Remand and noticed it for hearing on February 26, 2013.
(Dkt. No. 8.) The briefing on the Motion to Remand is not yet complete.
The Court hereby GRANTS Plaintiff’s request to enlarge time regarding the Motion to
Dismiss. There is a strong policy underlying the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure favoring
decisions on the merits. Eitel v. McCool, 782 F.2d 1470, 1472 (9th Cir. 1986). Plaintiff is hereby
ORDERED to file an opposition to the Motion to Dismiss by February 8, 2013. Defendant Mary
Allen may file a reply no later than February 19, 2013. The briefing schedule on the Motion to
Remand is unaffected by this Order.

For reasons of judicial efficiency and docket management, the Court hereby CONTINUES the

hearings on the Motion to Dismiss and Motion to Remand to Tuesday, March 12, 2013 at 2:00 p.m.

This Order terminates Dkt. No. 12.
