The parties agree and respectfully submit that good cause exists for this 23 stipulation based on the following: 24 1. Defendant filed its Motion to Dismiss Complaint on November 6, 2020. (ECF No. 2. The parties thereafter stipulated to provide Plaintiff with a four-week extension to 25 21). 26 27 respond to the Motion to Dismiss. (ECF No. 28).

The parties thereafter stipulated to (1) permit Plaintiff to exceed the 24-page 2 limitation in its Opposition by up to 20 pages; and (2) accordingly extend the time for Defendant 3 to file its reply to Plaintiff’s Opposition by two weeks (or until January 11, 2021). (ECF No. 33). 4 4. The Court has issued orders permitting (1) Defendant to exceed the general page- 5 limitation for its Motion by three (3) pages (ECF No. 35); and (2) Plaintiff to exceed the page 6 limitation for its Opposition by twenty (20) pages (ECF No. 32). In granting these motions, the 7 Court has agreed with the parties that the breadth of the issues involved in this action warrant an 8 exception to the general 24-page limit. (ECF No. 32 at 1:24-25; ECF No. 35). 9 5. Plaintiff’s filed Opposition is 43 pages. (ECF No. 34). As with the Motion and the 10 Opposition, good cause exists for Defendant’s request to exceed the general page limit for replies 11 (12 pages) because the issues raised in Defendant’s Motion and Plaintiff’s Opposition implicate 12 important issues of law arising from the COVID-19 pandemic and related insurance coverage 13 issues, most of which have not been addressed or decided by the Ninth Circuit, this Court or the 14 Nevada appellate courts. 15 6. Good cause also exists to permit a one-week extension for the filing of Defendants’ 16 reply to the Opposition. Defendant agreed to provide Plaintiff with a four-week extension, to 17 December 21, 2020, to file its Opposition. (ECF No. 28). Defendant also stipulated to allow 18 Plaintiff to exceed the general page limitation in the Opposition by twenty pages. Plaintiff 19 accordingly agreed to an initial two-week extension, to January 11, 2021, for Defendant to file its 20 reply. (ECF No. 33). Defendant seeks an additional one-week extension to file its reply, or until 21 January 19, 2021, due to the length of Plaintiff’s Opposition, the breadth and complexity of the 22 issues raised in the Opposition and the timing of the reply deadline, which has overlapped with the 23 holidays and the year-end of 2020. 24 7. This stipulation is made in good faith and for good cause, and not for any purpose 25 to delay. 26 27 LEWIS BRISBOIS BISGAARD & SMITH LLP ATTORNEYS AT LAW 28 4815-4051-6566.1 2 Case 2:20-cv-01845-JCM-BNW Document 40 Filed 01/08/21 Page 3 of 3 1 8.
