STIPULATION AND ORDER TO EXTEND SUMMARY JUDGMENT BRIEFING SCHEDULE
(Sixth Request)
RICHARD F. BOULWARE, II, UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT JUDGE
Plaintiff Brendan Tankersley (“Plaintiff”) and Defendants MGM Resorts International and Bellagio, LLC (collectively, “Defendants”), and by and through their undersigned counsel, hereby submit this Stipulation and Order to Extend Summary Judgment Briefing Schedule. Both Plaintiff and Defendant have filed summary judgment motions. The current deadline to file Reply Briefs is September 30, 2022. The new requested date is October 31, 2022 (October 30, 2022, is a Sunday). This request is made in good faith, is not made to cause delay, is submitted pursuant to LR IA 6-1, LR IA 6-2, and LR 7-1, and is the parties' sixth request. As demonstrated below, good cause exists for the parties' request.
As stated in the parties' previous request, Plaintiff's lead counsel, Ms. Neal, had to attend to an emergency medical issue. (ECF No. 101.) As a result, Ms. Neal is on a medical leave of absence until October 20, 2022, while receiving daily treatments, therapy, and further evaluations regarding the need for surgical intervention. Due to Ms. Neal's medical issue, treatments, and therapy she is only able to work a few hours per week as tolerated. The additional time is necessary to allow Ms. Neal to address her medical issues and, if necessary, after this extension, transition the briefing to another lawyer in her office to be completed.
DATED September 30, 2022.
