ORDER GRANTING MOTION TO ALLOW SUBMISSION OF LATE REPLY BRIEF
JAMES L. ROBART, District Judge.
Before the court is Plaintiff Shelley Cotrell's motion to allow the late submission of her reply brief. (Dkt. # 17.) The court grants the motion because there is no apparent prejudice to Defendant. The court advises Plaintiff's counsel, however, that failure to manage his caseload efficiently is not good cause to alter the case schedule. It is counsel's responsibility to manage his caseload effectively. Moreover, once the court has admonished counsel on this issue, the court is unlikely to grant further extensions due to a swamped caseload.
Nevertheless, in this instance, the court GRANTS Plaintiff's motion (Dkt. # 17), and accepts Plaintiff's late-filed reply brief.
