Plaintiff(s),
12
vs.

VEGAS EASTERN STAR, LLC,
14
Defendant(s).

Case No. 2:15-cv-01052-RCJ-NJK
ORDER DENYING STIPULATION
TO EXTEND
(Docket No. 11)

17

Scheduling Order. Docket No. 11. Stipulations for extensions must “state the reasons for the

18

extension requested.” Local Rule 6-1(b). The pending stipulation provides no reason whatsoever

19

for the requested extension. Furthermore, requests after the expiration of the specified period shall

20

not be granted, unless the parties demonstrate that their failure to act was the result of excusable

21

neglect. Id. Here, the parties filed their stipulation on September 29, 2015 – two days after the

22

September 27 deadline for filing the Discovery Plan and Scheduling Order. The pending stipulation

23

also fails to address excusable neglect. Accordingly, it is hereby DENIED without prejudice.

24

IT IS SO ORDERED.
