ORDER GRANTING JOINT STIPULATION TO EXTEND PLAINTIFFS' TIME TO RESPOND TO THE COURT'S ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE
(FIRST REQUEST)
Pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure (“FRCP”) 6 and the Court's Local of Civil Practice (“LR”) 7-1, Plaintiffs and Defendants hereby stipulate, subject to the Court's approval, to extend, to and until September 1, 2023, Plaintiffs' time to respond to the Court's Order to show cause filed on July 24, 2023. ECF No. 103. Plaintiffs' response is currently due today, August 14, 2023. This is the parties' first stipulation for an extension of time for the purpose identified herein. In support of this Stipulation, the parties rely upon the following:
1. By Order filed July 24, 2023 the Court dismissed Plaintiffs' federal claims and directed Plaintiffs to show cause why the state claims may proceed. See ECF No. 103. However, as communicated to Defendants' counsel, undersigned counsel for Plaintiffs needs additional time to confer with Ms. Eureka Graves, the mother of Nekiylo Graves, regarding certain decisions that need to be made at this juncture of the proceedings before responding to the Court's Order.
2. In light of the foregoing, the parties are in agreement that Plaintiff should be permitted additional time (or until September 1, 2023) to respond to the Court's show cause Order. Should the Court approve this Stipulation, the parties further request that Defendants be permitted to respond to any filing by Plaintiff within 14-days and that Plaintiffs be permitted to file a reply to Defendants' response within 7-days.
Respectfully submitted, IT IS SO ORDERED, nunc pro tunc, to the date of the request:
