STATE OF NEVADA

)
) ss:
COUNTY OF CLARK )

4

I, JESSICA PERLICK, being first duly sworn under oath, deposes and states as follows:

5

1.

I am an attorney licensed to practice law in all courts within the State of Nevada and am

6

employed as a Senior Deputy Attorney General in the Office of the Nevada Attorney General. I have

7

been assigned to represent Respondents in Terry D. Dixon v. Renee Baker, et al., Case No. 3:13-cv-

8

00248-RJC-WGC, and as such, have personal knowledge of the matters contained herein.

9

2.

The deadline to file Respondents’ response to Dixon’s motion for discovery (ECF No. 62)

10

is July 22, 2021.

11

3.

I have been unable with due diligence to complete the response herein. When Dixon filed

12

his motion, I was working through administrative tasks related to the internal transfer of a colleague,

13

including participation in interviews for the open position over the course of the last week. During this

14

time, I have also been working on a supplemental answer in Bollinger v. Gittere, 2:98-cv-01263 (capital

15

case); and a response to a petition in Elliott v. Russell, 3:20-cv-00529.
4.

16

Additionally, my supervisor went on medical leave yesterday, and I am assisting with

17

coverage in her absence. After receiving an adverse order in a colleague’s case, this coverage included

18

coordinating our internal procedures, which takes significant time and attention. As a result, I was unable

19

to complete the response to Dixon’s motion for discovery, and respectfully request a brief extension in

20

which to do so.
5.

21
22

I have communicated with counsel for Dixon, and she indicated that she does not object

to this brief extension.
6.

23

For the foregoing reasons, I respectfully request an enlargement of time of one week, up

24

to an including July 29, 2021, in which to file the response to Dixon’s motion for discovery (ECF No.

25

62).

26

Executed on July 22, 2021.

27

IT IS SO ORDERED.
