STIPULATION OF THE PARTIES FOR AN ORDER EXTENDING THE TIME TO FILE OPPOSITION AND REPLY BRIEFS RE MOTION FOR FEES, AND ORDER THEREON

LR-7.12

WILLIAM H. ORRICK, District Judge.

Plaintiff Marlon Montoya ("Plaintiff"), and Defendant Reliance Standard Life Insurance Company ("Reliance Standard" or "Defendant"), through their attorneys of record, hereby stipulate to and request an order from the Court to extend the time required to file the opposition and reply briefs by one week.

On April 3, 2017, this Court set the briefing schedule and hearing date for Plaintiff's motion for fees and costs. According to the schedule the opposition brief is due on April 17, 2017 and the reply brief is due April 24, 2017. Counsel for Defendant has had an unexpected personal issue arise and has had to be out of the office on April 13 and 14, 2017. Therefore, counsel needs additional time to finalize the brief. The parties stipulate and request that the date for filing the opposition brief be extended by one week to April 24, 2017 and the date for filing the reply brief be extended one week from April 24, 2017 to May 1, 2017. In the event that the hearing set for May 10, 2017 is impacted, the Parties request the hearing be re-set to May 17, 2017.
