Under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 6(b)(1) and Local Rule IA 6, Plaintiff and

19 Defendant stipulate, and request that the Court approve, an extension of the deadline of
20 October 25, 2024, ECF No. 44, for Defendant’s renewed motion to dismiss, as well as
21 approve the related briefing schedule set forth below. This is the first request for an
22 extension of the October 25, 2024, deadline.
23

After the parties filed a Joint Status Report, ECF No. 41, which recounted

24 Plaintiff’s submission of a workers compensation claim, the Court set a deadline of October
25 25, 2024, for (i) the parties to file a stipulation to dismiss the lawsuit or (ii) Defendant to file
26 a renewed motion to dismiss. ECF No. 44. The parties, though counsel, have conferred
27 and agree that renewed briefing is necessary as to the workers compensation issue. Each
28 party is now represented by counsel who are relatively new to the case. See ECF Nos. 42,

1

43. Counsel require additional time to familiarize themselves with the issues and

2

adequately brief them for the Court. Taking into account their existing workloads, travel

3

schedules, and upcoming holiday season, counsel request that the Court approve the

4

following briefing schedule:

5

November 15, 2024:

Defendant’s renewed motion to dismiss;

6

December 16, 2024:

Plaintiff’s response; and

7

January 13, 2024:

Defendant’s reply.

8

This extension is not sought for undue delay but to allow the parties sufficient time

9

to brief issues that go to the subject matter jurisdiction of this Court.

10

Respectfully submitted this 22nd day of October, 2024.
