JOINT STIPULATION TO EXTEND DEADLINES FOR PENDING MOTIONS

JON S. TIGAR, District Judge.

Pursuant to Local Rule 6-2(a), Plaintiffs and Defendants hereby stipulate and request that the Court extend the deadline for Defendants to file their opposition to Plaintiffs' Motion for Attorneys' Fees and Costs from August 17, 2017, to August 29, 2017, extend the deadline for Defendants to file their statement of non-opposition to Plaintiffs' Motion for Final Approval of Class Action Settlement from August 17, 2017, to August 29, 2017, and extend the deadline for Plaintiffs to file their reply to their Motion for Attorneys' Fees and Costs from August 24, 2017, to September 15, 2017. In support of this request, the parties state as follows:

1. The parties request this extension in order to permit Defendants to respond thoroughly to the extensive factual issues raised in Plaintiffs' Motion for Attorneys' Fees and Costs. Defendants' counsel have pre-existing work and vacation commitments that would make it difficult to provide a response by the current deadline. And Defendants' counsel further believe it will be appropriate and useful to have its statement of non-opposition to Plaintiffs' Motion for Final Approval of Class Action Settlement due on the same day, so that they can coordinate the two filings.

2. This extension would also consolidate Plaintiffs' briefing allowing their reply to be filed following the presently set objection deadline of August 31, 2017 thus allowing in a single pleading Plaintiffs' reply to Defendants' briefing on fees and costs and response to any Class Member objections to the motion for fees and costs.

Consistent with the Local Rules, previous time modifications in this case are set forth in the accompanying declaration as is a description of the effect of the requested time modification.

WHEREFORE, Plaintiffs and Defendants jointly request that the Court grant their request for an extension of the deadline for Defendants to file their opposition to Plaintiffs' Motion for Attorneys' Fees and Costs from August 17, 2017, to August 29, 2017, an extension of the deadline for Defendants to file their statement of non-opposition to Plaintiffs' Motion for Final Approval of Class Action Settlement from August 17, 2017, to August 29, 2017, and an extension of the deadline for Plaintiffs to file their reply to their Motion for Attorneys' Fees and Costs from August 24, 2017, to September 15, 2017.

[PROPOSED] ORDER

The parties' Joint Stipulation to Extend Deadlines for Motion for Pending Motions is GRANTED. The deadline for Defendants to file their Opposition to Plaintiffs' Motion for Award of Attorneys' Fees and Costs and the deadline for Defendants to file their Statement of Non-opposition to Plaintiffs' Motion for Final Approval of Class Action Settlement are hereby extended to August 29, 2017. The deadline for Plaintiffs to file their Reply Brief to Plaintiffs' Motion for Award of Attorneys' Fees and Costs is hereby extended to September 15, 2017.

PURSUANT TO STIPULATION, IT IS SO ORDERED.
