ORDER
The stipulation of the parties is HEREBY APPROVED. Plaintiff shall have until October 28, 2011, to file a motion for summary judgment. The court's scheduling order is modified accordingly.
The undersigned notes that plaintiff, who is represented by an attorney who appears regularly before the undersigned and regularly seeks extensions, filed this stipulation and proposed order on the day that plaintiff was obligated to file a motion for summary judgment. Plaintiff's counsel is again admonished that, pursuant to Local Rule 144(d), "[c]ounsel shall seek to obtain a necessary extension from the Court or from other counsel or parties in an action as soon as the need for an extension becomes apparent," and that requests for court-approved extensions brought on or after the required filing date "are looked upon with disfavor."
IT IS SO ORDERED.
