STIPULATION AND ORDER TO
EXTEND THE BRIEFING
SCHEDULE
(ECF No. 33)

vs.
JAMES DZURENDA, et al.,

Defendants.

(THIRD REQUEST)

16
17

Pursuant to LR IA 6-1, Plaintiff TODD EVANS and Defendants JAMES

18

DZURENDA, ROMEO ARANAS, JOHN KEAST, DR. JONES, and DR. MAR

19

(collectively “Defendants”), by and through their respective counsel, hereby stipulate and

20

request that this Court extend the deadline to file Opening Briefs (ECF No. 33) by an

21

additional thirty (30) days, extending the deadline from March 20, 2020 to April 20, 2020.

22

Parties further stipulate that the deadline for any responses shall be extended by twenty-

23

eight (28) days from April 10, 2020 (ECF No. 33) until May 8, 2020. This is the third

24

stipulation for extension of time for parties to file their Opening Briefs.

25
26

This Request for an extension of time is not sought for any improper purpose or
other purpose of delay. This request for extension is based upon the following:

27

Counsel for Plaintiff TODD EVANS initiated this request due to conflicting

28

deadlines in other cases. Specifically, counsel Alina M. Shell is counsel in In Re: D.O.T.

1

1

Litigation (Eighth Judicial District Court Case No. A-19-787004-B). The court presiding

2

over In Re: D.O.T. Litigation has set a discovery deadline of March 13, 2020, and scheduled

3

a bench trial for April 20, 2020. The demands of completing discovery in this multi-party

4

consolidated case in advance of trial has interfered with counsel’s ability to complete the

5

opening brief in this matter. Additionally, the undersigned’s law office has recently begun

6

transitioning to working remotely in light of the ongoing COVID-19 public health

7

emergency. Accordingly, counsel requires additional time to adequately represent Mr.

8

Evans’ interests in this matter.

9

WHEREFORE, the parties respectfully request that this Court extend the deadline

10

to file Opening Briefs (ECF No. 33) to up to and including April 20, 2020 and any Responses

11

to be filed by May 8, 2020.
