Case No. 2:17-cv-03098-GMN-NJK
ORDER
(Docket No. 11)

14

Pending before the Court is Defendant Portfolio Recovery Associates’ motion to extend the

15

deadline to respond to the complaint. Docket No. 11. As the motion acknowledges, however, the

16

governing deadline expired two months ago. Id. at 1. To revive an expired deadline, a party must show

17

both good cause and excusable neglect. See, e.g., Fed. R. Civ. P. 6(b)(1)(B). No such showing has been

18

made. Cf. Rybski v. Home Depot USA, Inc., 2012 U.S. Dist. Lexis 150152, at *5-6 (D. Ariz. Oct. 17,

19

2012) (collecting cases that settlement discussions, standing alone, are not grounds for an extension).

20

Nor are the parties permitted to stipulate to extend a Court deadline without Court approval. Local Rule

21

7-1(b). Nonetheless, given that there is no opposition and as a one-time courtesy, the Court will

22

GRANT the motion in this case. NO FURTHER EXTENSIONS WILL BE GRANTED.

23
24

Absent a request being granted saying otherwise, the scheduling order at Docket No. 8 applies
to Defendant Portfolio Recovery Associates.

25

IT IS SO ORDERED.
