VINCE CHHABRIA, District Judge.
1. On October 24, 2014, the Court issued its order (ECF 25) adopting a briefing schedule previously proposed by the parties, under which plaintiff's opening brief would be due on October 20, 2014, defendants' opposition and cross-motion brief would be due on October 27, 2014, plaintiff's reply and opposition to defendants' cross-motion would be due on November 3, 2014, and the matter would be heard as a half-day bench trial on December 10, 2014.
2. On Wednesday, October 22, 2014, the attorney responsible for preparing MetLife's briefs, Rebecca Hull, experienced a family medical emergency when her spouse sustained a severe back injury, which ultimately necessitated a lengthy hospital visit on Saturday, October 25, and has required most of her time and attention since October 22, making it impossible to complete the opening brief for MetLife in time for filing on October 27, 2014, under the current schedule. Upon discussion with counsel for plaintiff, the parties have agreed to the following extension of the current dates in light of this unexpected development and its anticipated duration to at least Wednesday, October 29, 2014, and request that the Court approve and adopt such dates:
a. Plaintiff's opening brief,
b. Defendants' brief in opposition to plaintiff's motion and in support of defendants' cross-motion, November 6, 2014;
c. Plaintiff's reply in support of plaintiff's motion and opposition to defendants' cross-motion, November 17, 2014;
d. Defendants' reply in support of their cross-motion, November 24, 2014;
e. Hearing/bench trial on December 17, 2014, as currently scheduled, or at the Court's convenience.
Upon the stipulation of the parties and good cause appearing therefor, IT IS SOe ORDERED.
