MEMORANDUM OF LAW
2
Rule 6(b)(1)(A) states, in pertinent part: “When an act may or must be done within a
3
specified time, the court may, for good cause, extend the time: (A) with or without motion or
4
notice if the court acts, or if a request is made, before the original time or its extension expires
5
…” Fed. R. Civ. P. 6(b)(1)(A).
6
Accordingly, the Court has the discretion and authority to grant an extension of time
7
for the filing of pleadings for good cause. See PLU Investments, LLC v. Intraspect Group,
8
Inc., C10-626RSL, 2011 WL 1376192, at *1 (W.D. Wash. Apr. 12, 2011) (citing In re Veritas
9
Software Corp. Sec. Litig.,496 F.3d 962, 974 (9th Cir. 2007)). A motion for extension of time
10
filed before a deadline has passed should “normally … be granted in the absence of bad faith
11
on the part of the party seeking relief or prejudice to the adverse party.” Id. (citing Ahanchian
12
x. Xenon Pictures, Inc., 624 F.3d 1253, 1259 (9th Cir. 2010).
13
Here, because the parties are engaged in discussions to efficiently gather extensive
14
construction project and insurance documents for production, there is good cause to grant this
15
extension of time and allow the parties until July 24, 2017 to submit their FRCP 26(a)(1) Initial
16
Disclosures and until July 31, 2017 to submit their FRCP 26(f) Combined Joint Status Report
17
and Discovery Plan. This is the parties’ second request for a short extension for good cause,
18
and the parties believe further extensions will not be necessary.
19
DATED this 14th day of July, 2017.
