2:11-CV-00417-MMD-CWH
1
Pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. Pro. 6(b), Defendants, Beam Inc. and Jim Beam Brands Co.,
2
move the Court for an extension of time to file their reply brief to Plaintiff’s Opposition to
3
Defendants’ Motion in Limine No. 1 (filed on 2/7/2018) until February 24, 2018. Defendants’
4
counsel has conferred with Plaintiff’s counsel and Plaintiffs have consented to the relief sought in
5
this motion. This is Defendants’ first request for an extension of time.

this motion was due on January 19, 2018 (D.I. 199).

On January 5, 2018, Defendants filed their Motion in Limine No. 1 (D.I. 208). Pursuant
Plaintiff failed to timely file a response to Defendants’ Motion in Limine No. 1 and on
10
February 7, 2018 filed for a motion for extension of time (D.I. 221) which was granted (D.I. 222)

accepting Plaintiff’s opposition as of February 7, 2018.

15
timely reply to Plaintiff’s opposition. Defendants were supposed to file any replies to their
16
motions in limine as of January 26, 2018 (D.I. 199). However, Plaintiff’s belated filing of its
17
opposition has caused the briefing schedule to overlap with deadlines from other cases.
18
Specifically, Defendants’ counsel had depositions out of state in another case the week of
19
February 5 (Heritage Capital Corp. et al. v. Christie’s, Inc. et.al., JAMS No. 1310023168
20
(2017)). In addition, Defendants have a reply brief to a summary judgment motion due in the
21
Trademark Trial and Appeal Board in another case on February 18, 2018 (Patron Spirits Int’l AG
22
v. CB Spirits SARL, No. 91224686 (TTAB)) that will consume the entire week of February 12 to
23

1
See D.I. 219. As such, this short extension will not impact the Court’s existing pretrial and trial
2
deadlines. Further, Plaintiff has consented to this short extension.

In view of the above, Defendants respectfully submit that they have shown good cause for
5
the grant of an extension. Affording Defendants additional time to respond to Plaintiff’s
6
opposition to Defendants’ Motion in Limine No. 1 will not prejudice any of the parties and would
7
be in the interests of justice. Defendants thus request that the extension be granted.
