STIPULATION AND ORDER TO EXTEND TIME FOR PLAINTIFF'S RESPONSE TO DEFENDANT WALMART, INC.'S MOTION TO STAY AND DEFENDANT SMITH'S FOOD AND DRUG CENTERS, INC.'S JOINDER TO MOTION TO STAY AND TO EXTEND TIME FOR ALL DEFENDANTS' REPLIES IN SUPPORT OF ALL PENDING MOTIONS TO STAY [SECOND REQUEST]
Defendant WALMART, having filed its Motion to Stay Discovery (“Motion to Stay”) [ECF No. 24] on July 5, 2022;
Defendant SMITH'S FOOD & DRUG CENTERS, INC., having filed its Joinder in WALMART's Motion to Stay Discovery [ECF No. 24] Until There is a Decision on the Pending Motions to Dismiss Filed by All Defendants (“Joinder to Motion to Stay”) [ECF No. 25] on July 11, 2022;
Plaintiff's Responses to WALMART's Motion to Stay [ECF No. 24] and SMITH'S Joinder to Motion to Stay are currently due on August 2, 2022, pursuant to Order [ECF No. 25];
Plaintiff requires additional time to respond to WALMART's Motion to Stay [ECF No. 24] and SMITH's Joinder to Motion to Stay [ECF No. 25], good cause exists, and the parties agree and respectfully request a short extension of time to allow Plaintiff until August 9, 2022, to respond to the Motion to Stay and Joinder to Motion to Stay;
Whereas this is the Plaintiff s second stipulation for an extension of time for Plaintiff to respond to Defendants' Motion to Stay and Joinder to Motion to Stay. Good cause exists for this request because Plaintiff's Counsel had an urgent appearance in an unrelated state court matter requiring his immediate attention and immediate subsequent briefing thereon, making it unlikely to meet his current deadlines in this matter;
Additionally, if the stipulation is approved as to an extension of time to respond to Defendants' Motion to stay and Joinder to Motion to Stay, then Defendants' replies in support of the Motion to Stay and Joinder to Motion to Stay are both currently due on August 23, 2022. The parties agree and respectfully request a short extension of time to August 30, 2022, in order that Defendants may prepare replies to both motions, and good cause exists to grant this extension. This is the second request for an extension of time for Defendants to file replies in support of the Motion to Stay and Joinder to Motion to Stay [ECF No.24 and 25]
IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED AND JOINTLY REQUESTED by the parties that Plaintiffs deadline to respond to WALMART'S Motion to Stay [ECF No. 24] and SMITH's Joinder to Motion to Dismiss [ECF No. 25] be extended to August 9, 2022; and, IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED AND JOINTLY REQUESTED by the parties that Defendants' deadlines to file replies to all pending motions to stay and joiners thereto [ECF No. 24 and 25] be extended to August 30, 2022.
ORDER
IT IS SO ORDERED:
