Hal Taylor, Esq. Of Counsel, Olinsky Law Group NV Bar No.: 4399 Attorney for Plaintiff
ORDER GRANTING UNOPPOSED MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME TO FILE PLAINTIFF'S BRIEF
Plaintiff, Gavin Scott Penkal, by his attorney, moves for a sixty (60) day extension of time to file Plaintiff's opening brief. Plaintiff's opening brief is currently due to be filed November 10, 2023.
Counsel requests this extension due to multiple, simultaneous filing deadlines. Counsel requires additional time to properly and thoroughly prepare Plaintiff's brief. For instance, between October 27, and December 27, 2023, staff in Counsel's office have one hundred and seventy-eight (178) Plaintiff briefs due. This figure does not include briefings which will be due after the filing of Administrative Records throughout this timeframe, Oral Arguments, appeals to Circuit Courts, Reply Briefs, settlement negotiations, and the various other tasks which arise throughout the course of litigation. These circumstances do not allow for Plaintiff's Counsel to properly prepare the brief by the current deadline. This request will not cause Defendant any undue hardship. This extension is needed to thoroughly and properly prepare the brief.
Wherefore, Plaintiff requests an extension from November 10, 2023, up to and including January 9, 2024, to file his brief. Counsel for the Plaintiff has conferred with Defendant's Counsel who kindly has no objection to this request.
Plaintiff's Certificate of Service:
I certify that I caused the Unopposed Motion for Extension of Time to be served today, October 31, 2023, by CMECF to Blaine T. Welsh, Esq., and L. Jamala Edwards, Esq., who are filing users of the CM/ECF system.
ORDER
IT IS SO ORDERED.
