(Docket No. 18)

Defendant(s).
Pending before the Court is the parties’ stipulation to extend time for Plaintiff to file a

17 motion for remand/reversal, filed on September 21, 2018. Docket No. 18. The parties ask the
18 Court to extend the deadline from September 19, 2018 to October 12, 2018. Id. The parties submit
19 that an extension is warranted to allow Plaintiff’s counsel additional time to “fully research the
20 issues presented.” Id. at 2. Local Rule IA 6-1 requires that a request for extension made after the
21 expiration of a deadline must be supported by excusable neglect. The parties have failed to
22 address, let alone show, excusable neglect for the extension of the expired deadline. Further, this
23 is the parties’ second stipulation to extend and, in granting the first request, the Court explicitly
24 stated it would allow an extension on only that one occasion. Docket No. 17 at 1.

3 2018 to file his motion for remand/reversal.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
