CASE NO: 2:17-cv-00562-MMD-DJA
STIPULATION AND ORDER TO EXTEND
TIME FOR PLAINTIFF TO RESPOND TO
DEFENDANT ALLAN KIRKWOOD,
D.D.S.’S MOTION FOR SUMMARY
JUDGMENT
(Fourth Request)

Defendants.
COMES NOW, Plaintiff Luis Cervantes (“Plaintiff”), by and through his counsel, the law

16
17

firm of Hatfield & Associates, Ltd., appearing pro bono publico, and Defendant Allan

18 Kirkwood, D.D.S. (“Defendant Kirkwood”) by and through his counsel, the law firm of Lewis
19 Brisbois Bisgaard & Smith, LLP, hereby stipulate and agree to extend the time for Plaintiff to
20 Respond to Defendant Allan Kirkwood, DDS’s Motion for Summary Judgment (ECF #81). This
21
request is submitted pursuant to LR IA 6-1, 6-2 and LR II 7-1 and 26-4 and is the party’s fourth
22
request for an extension of time for Plaintiff to respond to Defendant’s Motion for Summary
23
24 Judgment.
25

Good cause exists for this extension, as the current coronavirus/COVID-19 pandemic has

26 caused, and continues to cause, disruption to the practices of counsel involved in this case. In
27
addition, Plaintiff is incarcerated in Ely State Prison and Plaintiff’s Counsel has had difficulty
28
communicating with him to formulate an opposition to Defendant’s Motion for Summary Judgment.

In an attempt to resolve the matter, Plaintiff forwarded his settlement demand to Defendant’s

2 Counsel on July 22, 2020, and Defendant’s counsel hopes to have a response from Defendant by July
3 29, 2020. In light of the prior extensions, Defendant’s Counsel believes an extension to August
4 4, 2020 will be acceptable to Defendant.
5

Accordingly, Plaintiff shall have up to and including August 4, 2020, to respond to

Defendant Allan Kirkwood, DDS’s Motion for Summary Judgment (ECF #81).
