On September 1, 2021, Defendant filed an Ex Parte Motion to Continue Early Neutral Evaluation Conference and Case Management Conference (“ex parte application”), moving this Court to continue to the September 8, 2021 Early Neutral Evaluation Conference (“ENE”) and Case Management Conference (“CMC”) due to a scheduling conflict with the Rosh HaShanah Holiday. (Doc. No. 9.) The ex parte application represented Plaintiff did not object to a continuance of the ENE and the CMC. (Id., 2:19-22.) However, Plaintiff failed to file any response to the ex parte application consistent with this Court's Civil Chambers Rule VI to either confirm his non-opposition or to oppose Defendant's request. Nevertheless, good cause appearing, the Court GRANTS Defendant's request.

Chambers will provide the Zoom information prior to the September 27, 2021 ENE and CMC.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
