STIPULATION AND ORDER TO EXTEND TIME FOR PLAINTIFF TO RESPOND TO NAPHCARE DEFENDANTS' MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT (ECF #244) (THIRD REQUEST)
COMES NOW, Plaintiff Justin Tripp (“Plaintiff”), by and through his counsel, the law firm of Hatfield & Associates., Ltd., appearing pro bono publico, and Defendant NaphCare, Inc., Defendant Harry Duran, M.D., Defendant Eric Lopez, P.A., Defendant Rachel Scheiblich, Defendant Kendra Meyer, and Defendant Raymond Mondora, (hereinafter “NaphCare Defendants”), by and through their counsel, the law firm of Medical Defense Law Group, and hereby stipulate and agree to extend the time for Plaintiff to Respond to the NaphCare Defendants' Motion for Summary Judgment [ECF #244], due on November 18, 2022 to December 2, 2022.
This request is submitted pursuant to LR IA 6-1, 6-2 and 7-1 and is the parties' third request for an extension of time for Plaintiff to respond to Defendants' Motion for Summary Judgment.
Good cause exists for this extension. Plaintiff is incarcerated in F.C.I. Herlong, in Herlong, California and Plaintiff s Counsel has had difficulty communicating with him. Plaintiff's counsel is requesting an extension of time up to and including December 2, 2022, as Plaintiff requested authority from his incarcerated client to make an offer to resolve this case to Defendants and received that authority and made the offer to Defendants' counsel on October 19, 2022. Defendants responded to the offer on October 25, 2022 with a counteroffer that Plaintiff's counsel needs to convey to Plaintiff.
Plaintiff's counsel continues to have difficulty communicating with Plaintiff as F.C.I. Herlong is experiencing a Level 3 Lockdown due to Covid. Inmates are not able to take phone calls or have access to a computer during the lockdown. If Defendants' offer is accepted, the case would then resolve in the entirety whereby the motion may be made moot, but time is needed to convey the counteroffer to Plaintiff.
Defendants have courteously granted this extension of time for Plaintiff to file his Response. Accordingly, Plaintiff shall have up to and including December 2, 2022, to respond to NaphCare Defendants' Motion for Summary Judgment [ECF #244].
ORDER
IT IS SO ORDERED.
