STIPULATION AND ORDER FOR EXTENSION OF TIME FOR DEFENDANT TO FILE RESPONSE TO PLAINTIFF'S MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT

ERICA P. GROSJEAN, Magistrate Judge.

IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED, by the parties, through their respective counsel of record, that the time for responding to Plaintiff's Motion for Summary Judgment be extended for two business days week from May 26, 2017, to May 31, 2017. This is Defendant's third request for extension. Good cause exists as counsel for Defendant took family medical leave to care for her mother who had surgery on May 19, 2017. Counsel is taking additional leave to take her mother to the doctor following complications from her surgery last week. Counsel for Defendant apologizes for the late request due to unforeseen circumstances which Counsel did not anticipate at the time of the last request. Due to unanticipated circumstances and unscheduled leave, Counsel did not have sufficient time to adequately research the issues raised in Plaintiff's brief in time for the current deadline. As such, Defendant respectfully requests additional time to respond to Plaintiff's Motion for Summary Judgment. Defendant makes this request in good faith with no intention to unduly delay the proceedings.

The parties further stipulate that the Court's Scheduling Order shall be modified accordingly.

ORDER

Based on the above stipulation and good cause appearing therein, the Court grants Defendant an extension of time to file her opposition to Plaintiff's opening brief. Defendant's opposition brief shall be filed no later than May 31, 2017. Plaintiff may file his reply brief no later than June 15, 2017.

No further extensions of Defendant's deadline will be granted.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
