ORDER GRANTING MOTION FOR AN EXTENSION OF TIME TO RESPOND TO PLAINTIFF'S OPENING BRIEF (ECF NO. 26)
IT IS HEREBY MOVED, by and between the parties, through their respective counsel of record, that the time for Defendant to respond to Plaintiff's Opening Brief be extended twenty-one (21) days from September 29, 2021, up to and including October 20, 2021. The parties previously stipulated to an extension for Defendant to file her response brief, which did not require court approval. This is the parties' first motion for an extension of the Court's Scheduling Order, and Defendant's second extension request.
Defendant's counsel requests this extension because of conflicts in her schedule, including 14 district court briefs that were due over the last 30 days and 15 district court briefs due in the next thirty days, and because she requires additional time to discuss settlement with her client.
The parties further move that the Court's Scheduling Order shall be modified accordingly.
ORDER
Based on the above motion for an extension of time to respond to Plaintiffs opening brief, IT IS ORDERED that the motion (ECF No. 26) is granted. Defendant shall serve Plaintiff with Defendant's response to Plaintiffs opening brief no later than October 20, 2021. All other deadlines in the Court's scheduling order are extended accordingly.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
