STIPULATION TO EXTEND DISPOSITIVE MOTION DEADLINE (SIXTH REQUEST)
BRENDA WEKSLER UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE
Defendants City of Henderson, Kevin Abernathy and Kenneth Kerby and plaintiff LaTesha Watson (collectively the “Parties”) stipulate to extend the February 15, 2023, dispositive motion deadline to up to and including February 22, 2023. The Parties make the following stipulation for good cause, not for the purpose of delay, and for the following reasons:
1. In 2021, Watson amended her complaint, reasserting nine causes of action against the currently named defendants. The City, Abernathy, and Kerby all moved to dismiss the claims against them, with all motions being fully briefed as of March 25, 2022.
2. Following various stipulations, discovery in this employment-discrimination matter closed on January 16, 2023.
3. Before discovery closed, the Parties agreed to, and this Court authorized, the taking of three additional depositions outside the discovery period.
4. The Parties have worked diligently to complete dispositive motions but need additional time to complete them given the number of claims and independent theories against the defendants.
5. This request is sought in good faith and is not made for the purpose of delay.
Therefore, the Parties respectfully request to extend the dispositive motion deadline one week to up to and including February 22, 2023.
ORDER
It is therefore ordered that the Parties' stipulation is GRANTED. Dispositive motions shall be due on February 22, 2023, with responses and replies due in the ordinary course under Local Rule 7-2(b).
IT IS SO ORDERED.
