SOUTHWEST AIRLINES CO., et al. 12 13 Defendant(s). 14 ORDER 15 Presently before the court is plaintiff’s ex parte motion seeking an extension of time (doc. 16 # 11) to respond to defendants’ motion to dismiss (doc. # 5). Defendants filed a response to this 17 motion (doc. #13) as well as their own motion to stay (doc. # 12). 18 Due to unforeseen medical issues, which caused a delay through a time when opposing 19 counsel was out of the country, plaintiff Jacob Dicus requests an extension of time to respond to 20 defendants’ motion to dismiss. Plaintiff also mentions that he will soon file a motion to amend his 21 complaint in connection with his response to the motion to dismiss. 22 Defendants do not oppose the extension, but argue that because it is not yet known whether 23 the court will allow plaintiff to amend his complaint, a stay of the deadlines for initial disclosures 24 and a stipulated discovery plan is necessary. 25 Good cause appearing, 26 IT IS HEREBY ORDERED, ADJUDGED, AND DECREED that plaintiff’s motion seeking 27 an extension of time (doc. # 11) be, and the same hereby is, GRANTED. Plaintiff shall have up to, 28 James C. Mahan U.S. District Judge 1 and including, October 29, 2013, in which to respond to defendants’ motion to dismiss. Defendants 2 will have seven days after the service of plaintiff’s response to file a reply. 3 IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that defendants’ motion to stay deadlines for initial disclosures 4 and stipulated discovery plan (doc. # 12) be, and at the same time hereby is, GRANTED.
