Defendants
ORDER FOR DISMISSAL
Defendant Stephen Clark, by and through counsel, Aaron D. Ford, Attorney
16
General of the State of Nevada, and Laura M. Ginn, Deputy Attorney General, hereby
17
file this Motion for Extension of Time to file Settlement Stipulation and Proposed Order
18
for Dismissal as Ordered by this Court in ECF No. 9. This Motion is based on Federal
19
Rule of Civil Procedure 6(b)(1), the following Memorandum of Points and Authorities, and
20
all papers and pleadings on file in this action.

MEMORANDUM OF POINTS AND AUTHORITIES
22
Defendant respectfully requests this short extension to file the stipulation of
23
dismissal as Plaintiff Leodias Edwards (Edwards) has yet to respond to counsel’s
24
numerous requests for a signature. The Settlement and Stipulation was sent to Edwards
25
on May 6 and May 20, 2021. On May 24, Edwards returned the Settlement and
26
Stipulation without his signature, questions, or notations. On May 25 and again on June
27
1, 2021, the Settlement and Stipulation was sent to Edwards. It is unclear to Defendant
28
whether Edwards intends to sign the stipulation, has questions about the settlement
1
1
agreement, or otherwise intends to continue participating in this matter. Defendants thus
2
request a short extension to file either a stipulation of dismissal or motion to enforce the
3
settlement agreement.

Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 6(b)(1) governs enlargements of time and provides
as follows:
When an act may or must be done within a specified time, the court may, for
good cause, extend the time: (A) with or without motion or notice if the court acts,
or if a request is made, before the original time or its extension expires; or (B) on
motion made after the time has expired if the party failed to act because of
excusable neglect.
10
Good cause exists to extend the time to file the Settlement Stipulation and
11
Proposed Order to give Edwards additional time to review and sign the Settlement and
12
Stipulation. Counsel again contacted Edwards and indicated if he did not return the
13
stipulation by June 8, 2021, counsel would move to enforce the settlement.
14
For the above reasons, Defendant respectfully requests an extension to file the
15
Settlement Stipulation and Proposed Order with a new deadline to and including June
16
16, 2021.
17
DATED this 2nd day of June, 2021.
