JOHN MANUEL RUIZ,

vs.
NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF
CORRECTIONS, et al.,

2:16-cv-00931-APG-VCF
ORDER

Defendants.
9

Before the Court is NDOC’s Motion To Extend Dispositive Motions Deadline Only To December
10

30, 2020 (ECF No. 49).
11

NDOC states several reasons why the dispositive motions deadline of October 1, 2020 should be
12

extended. NDOC states that Deputy Attorney General Alexander J. Smith recently started with the
13

Nevada Attorney General’s Office and has been assigned this case. He is also assigned 40 other cases and
14

will need additional time to work on this matter. NDOC also states technological difficulties caused by
15

working from home due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
16

No opposition has been filed and the time to file an opposition has passed. Under LR 7-2(d), the
17

failure of an opposing party to file points and authorities in response to any motion, except a motion under
18

Fed. R. Civ. P. 56 or a motion for attorney’s fees, constitutes a consent to the granting of the motion.
19

Here, it would seem as though Plaintiff has consented to the granting of the instant motion.
20

Accordingly, and for good cause shown,
21

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the Motion To Extend Dispositive Motions Deadline Only To
22

December 30, 2020 (ECF No. 49) is GRANTED.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the deadline to file dispositive motions is extended to December

30, 2020. If dispositive motions are filed, the deadline for filing the joint pretrial order will be suspended

3

until 30 days after decision on the dispositive motions or further court order
