MOTION FOR LEAVE TO EXTEND THE DEADLINE TO FILE THE MOTION FOR
LEAVE TO FILE BRIEF OF AMICUS CURIAE
The American National Standards Institute, Inc. (“ANSI”), International Association of
Plumbing & Mechanical Officials (“IAPMO”), National Electrical Manufacturers Association
(“NEMA”), and North American Energy Standards Board (“NAESB”) (collectively “Movants”),
respectfully move for leave pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 6(b)(1)(B) to extend its
deadline to file its Second Amicus Curiae brief in support of the Second Motion for Summary
Judgment filed by the Plaintiffs in the above-referenced matter twenty-seven minutes late.
1.

Movants attempted to file its Motion for Leave and Second Amicus Curiae Brief at 11:45

am on December 6, 2019, within the timeframe permitted by the Court’s October 2, 2019 Minute
Order which set a filing deadline of November 25, 2019 which was subsequently amended to
December 6, 2019 by 12:00 pm.
2.

Due to technical errors Movants Motion for Leave and Second Amicus Curiae Brief did

not process in the CM-ECF system until 12:27 pm as indicated by Docket Entry Number 210.

3.

The minimal delay in filing of twenty-seven minutes does not prejudice any parties or

negatively impact the judicial proceedings.
4.

At all times, the Movants acted in good faith and there would be significant prejudice to

the Movants if its Second Amicus Curiae Brief is not considered.
WHEREFORE, Movants respectfully request that the Court grant its motion to extend the
deadline and accept the Motion for Leave and Second Amicus Curiae Brief.
DATED:

December 6, 2019

Respectfully Submitted,
