TOM BRADY, et al.,

Civ. No. 11-CV-00639-SRN-JJG
Plaintiffs,

v.
NATIONAL FOOTBALL LEAGUE
et al.,

JOINT MOTION FOR
EXTENSION OF
BRIEFING SCHEDULE

Defendants.
_____________________________________________________________________
The Brady Plaintiffs and the NFL Defendants hereby jointly move for a
one-week extension of the due date from July 18, 2011 to July 25, 2011 for
the parties’ respective opening memoranda in support of their dispositive
motions to be heard at the August 29, 2011 hearing. The parties do not at
this time request any change to the hearing date. The parties make this joint
request to allow them to focus on the continuing mediation ordered by the
Court (Dkt. No. 56).
With the Court’s guidance, the parties previously scheduled a hearing
date of August 29, 2011 at 1:30 p.m. for the NFL Defendants’ motions to
dismiss the governing complaints and for possible dispositive motions by the

Brady Plaintiffs.
At the Court’s direction (Dkt. No. 56), the parties have also been
meeting regularly since April 11, 2011, in an effort to resolve their disputes.

Both the Brady Plaintiffs and the NFL Defendants agree that
postponing the deadline for their opening memoranda by one week will aid
their continuing court-ordered discussions. The parties therefore respectfully
request the Court to issue an order allowing the parties to file their opening
memoranda on July 25, 2011.

Respectfully submitted,
