STIPULATION AND ORDER TO REQUEST THAT THE COURT EXTEND DEADLINE FOR FILING RENEWED MOTION TO SEAL (FIRST REQUEST)
Defendant the State of Nevada, ex rel. its Nevada Department of Corrections (“NDOC”) and Plaintiffs Donald Walden Jr., Nathan Echeverria, Aaron Dicus, Brent Everist, Travis Zufelt, Timothy Ridenour, and Daniel Tracy, on behalf of themselves and all others similarly situated (“Plaintiffs”), by and through their respective counsel of record, hereby agree and request that the Court extend the deadline set in ECR No. 392 regarding NDOC's renewed Motion to Seal, which is currently set for April 18, 2022, by four (4) days, to April 22, 2022. This would also extend the date for Plaintiffs' Reply, currently set for April 28, 2022, to May 2, 2022.
NDOC does not need an extension to be able to file the revised Motion to Exclude All Evidence from Plaintiffs' Experts [ECF 351].
This stipulation is submitted in compliance with LR IA 6-1. Good cause exists for the requested extension as the parties have been in communication about the exhibits to be filed under seal. Counsel for NDOC has been conferring with Plaintiffs' counsel as to exhibits each believes should or should not be sealed, and Counsel for NDOC has been conferring with its clients as to limitations in the number of exhibits that need to be the subject of the motion. With the upcoming holidays, Easter and Passover, additional time is needed in order to effectively analyze and confirm each document and the exhibits to be successfully refiled before the Court. Accordingly, the parties agree that the requested extension furthers the interest of this litigation and is not being requested in bad faith or to delay these proceedings unnecessarily.
This is the parties' first request for extension of these deadlines.
ORDER
GOOD CAUSE SHOWN, the extension requested is granted. Defendant has until April 22, 2022 to file a renewed Motion to Seal, as directed in this Court's Order dated April 7, 2022. Plaintiffs have until May 2, 2022 to respond to Defendant's Motion.
