ORDER GRANTING IN PART PARTIES' STIPULATED REQUEST TO EXTEND DEADLINES FOR MOTION TO REMAND

WILLIAM ALSUP, District JudgePage 2

Whereas, Plaintiff's opposition to Defendant's motion to remand is due on February 4, 2010. A one week extension of time was previously granted; and

Whereas, counsel for plaintiff requires additional time because counsel for plaintiff is working a reduced schedule for health and personal reasons; and

Whereas, due to the multiple extensions requested by plaintiff, the parties agree that for judicial efficiency and economy, defendants' motion to remand should be heard concurrently with defendants' motion for summary judgment scheduled for March 18, 2010;

Now, therefore, the parties stipulate to the following briefing schedule and hearing date:

February 25, 2010: Deadline for Plaintiff to file its opposition to Defendant's Motion to Remand March 4, 2010: Deadline for Defendant to file its Reply March 18, 2010: Hearing Date IT IS SO STIPULATED.

ORDER

Inexplicably, the parties have again waited until the last moment to request an extension. The parties' request to extend the briefing schedule by three weeks will not be granted. Plaintiff will have until midnight on FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 5, 2010, to file an opposition brief. The deadline for the reply brief and the hearing date on this motion will remain unchanged.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
