Case No. 2:16-cv-00542-GMN-NJK
ORDER
(Docket No. 24)

14
15

Pending before the Court is Plaintiff’s motion to extend the deadline to file her motion for

16

remand or reversal. Docket No. 24. Though Plaintiff labels it as a motion to extend the December

17

15, 2016 deadline, see id. at 1, the Court construes it as a motion to extend the January 17, 2017

18

deadline. The instant motion is identical to Plaintiff’s motion at Docket No. 22. See Docket No. 24

19

at 2-3 (referencing December 15, 2016 deadline and providing the same reasons for request to those

20

mentioned in motion at Docket No. 22). Nonetheless, the Court understands that Plaintiff’s counsel

21

is new to the case and needs sufficient time to prepare.

22

Accordingly, Plaintiff’s motion, Docket No. 24, is hereby GRANTED. The deadline for

23

Plaintiff to file any motions for reversal and/or remand is hereby EXTENDED to February 16, 2017.

24

IT IS SO ORDERED.
