Defendants intend to respond to plaintiff’s Complaint by filing a motion to 8 dismiss. Under the current schedule, defendants’ response (motion) is due on September 16, 9 2016; plaintiff’s opposition to the motion is due two weeks later, on September 30, 2016; and 10 11 defendants’ reply is due the following week, on October 7, 2016; 2. The parties agree that the briefing schedule should be modified due to the 12 anticipated complexity of defendants’ forthcoming motion, which defendants represent will raise 13 jurisdictional issues and will also argue that plaintiff has failed to state a claim upon which relief 14 will be granted. The commentary to the Civil Local Rules instructs that the default two weeks 15 for an opposition and one week for a reply “are minimum time periods,” and that for “complex 16 motions,” such as the one that defendants anticipate filing here, “parties are encouraged to 17 stipulate or seek a Court order establishing a longer notice period with correspondingly longer 18 periods for response or reply.” Civil. L.R. 7-2 Commentary. 19 3. In addition, defendants represent that their motion must be reviewed by multiple 20 federal agencies before it can be filed, and additional time is needed due to the press of business. 21 Similarly, the press of business informs the parties’ agreement that the timeframes for the 22 opposition and the reply should be enlarged, since counsel for the parties must also continue their 23 work on other matters during the time allowed for the briefing here. 24 4. For these reasons, the parties request that the Court enter the following stipulated 25 briefing schedule: defendants’ motion to dismiss due by Monday, September 26; plaintiffs’ 26 opposition due by Friday, November 4; defendants’ reply due by Thursday, Nov. 17. 27 28 —2— 5. 1 The requested briefing schedule will alter the current deadline (of September 16) 2 for defendants’ response to the Complaint. One prior extensions of time has previously been 3 requested and granted; on August 30, 2016, the Court granted defendants’ request to extend the 4 deadline for responding to the Complaint. See ECF No. 30. 6. 5 The requested time modification will not alter any other event or deadline. The 6 next case management conference in this case is scheduled for November 29, 2016 at 1:30pm, 7 and the parties are to file a Case Management Statement by November 22. IT IS SO STIPULATED AND REQUESTED. 8 9 10 Dated: September 16, 2016 /s/ Timothy S. Thimesch TIMOTHY S. THIMESCH, ESQ.
