“Federal Defendants”) respectfully move for a modification of the scheduling order entered by this

2

Court on October 10, 2013 (ECF No. 53).

3

The current scheduling order provides that response to summary judgment motions will be filed

4

no later than December 23, 2013 and replies will be filed no later than January 24, 2013. Those dates

5

were established in response to Plaintiffs’ Unopposed Motion to Amend Briefing Schedule (ECF No.

6

52).

Deadlines in other cases including responses to emergency motions have made it difficult for

8

counsel to comply with this schedule. Therefore, Federal Defendants move for a modification to this

9

schedule providing that responses will be filed no later than January 22, 2013 and replies will be filed

no later February 21, 2013.

motion.
For the foregoing reasons, Defendants respectfully request that the Court grant this motion and

14

enter an order making this modification to the scheduling order.

Respectfully submitted the 12th day of December, 2013.
