STIPULATION AND ORDER TO EXTEND TIME FOR PLAINTIFFS' OPPOSITION AND DEFENDANTS' REPLY TO DEFENDANTS' MOTION TO DISMISS PLAINTIFF'S THIRD AMENDED COMPLAINT

ERICA P. GROSJEAN, Magistrate Judge.

Defendants filed Defendants' Notice of Motion and Motion to Dismiss Plaintiff's Third Amended Complaint; Memorandum of Points and Authorities in the above-captioned matter on December 21, 2017 (ECF No. 59). Based on the date of the motion's filing, Plaintiff's Opposition is due January 4, 2018, and Defendants' Reply is due January 11, 2018. No hearing was initially scheduled in this matter as Plaintiff was pro per until December 21, 2017, when counsel EmilyRose Johns entered an appearance on his behalf.

The extension is requested to allow plaintiff's counsel the opportunity to meet with plaintiff and discuss the contents of the motion. This is requested because plaintiff is incarcerated with attendant limitations on his ability to freely communicate with counsel and because plaintiff's counsel has newly appeared in this matter.

The parties hereby stipulate and respectfully request that the Court grant the Plaintiffs an extension to file their opposition and the Defendants an extension to file their reply.

The parties stipulate to and respectfully request the following dates:

ORDER

On stipulation of the parties, and for good cause appearing, the Court grants the parties' stipulated extension. Plaintiff's Opposition to Defendants' Motion to Dismiss is due January 25, 2018. Defendants' Reply is due February 18, 2018.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
