Before the Court is Plaintiff Eva Ruiz-Camacho’s Motion to Extend Time to File Response to
12

Defendant Costco Wholesale Corp.’s, Motion to Strike Plaintiff’s FRCP 26(a)(2)(B) First Supplemental
13

Disclosure of Expert Justin Brink, MSBE. (ECF No. 48). For the reasons discussed below, the motion is
14

granted.
15

On July 17, 2018, Defendant filed a motion to strike. (ECF No. 47). The deadline to respond was
16

July 31, 2018. On that date, Plaintiff filed a motion to extend time to respond to Defendant’s motion to
17

strike. (ECF No. 48). Plaintiff asserts she “has been unable to complete the opposition in advance of the
18

response deadline due to a heavy discovery and motion practice schedule since the filing of defendant’s
19

motion. (Id. at 2).
20

“When an act may or must be done within a specified time, the court may, for good cause, extend
21

the time…if a request is made, before the original time or its extension expires.” Fed. R. Civ. P. 6(b)(1);
22

see also LR IA 6-1. “Good cause exists to enlarge the time by which a party may file a brief where
23

additional time is needed to prepare such a brief.” Olivas v. Nevada ex rel. Dep't of Corr., No. 2:14-cv24

01801-JCM-VCF, 2017 WL 3484650, at *1 (D. Nev. Aug. 14, 2017).

2

strike by two weeks. Plaintiff has provided a reason for the extension. Any delay to the case will be

3

minimal. In addition, it is important that the motion to strike be decided on its merits.
