JOHN A. MENDEZ, District Judge.
Pursuant to Local Rules 143 and 144, the undersigned parties hereby stipulate to modify the deadlines for the remaining briefs in this case. Specifically, the parties have stipulated to the following modifications to the deadlines for Plaintiff's reply and response memorandum and the Defendants' reply memoranda:
With this stipulation, the parties do not propose that the current hearing date of December 13, 2016 be adjusted.
The undersigned counsel for the Plaintiff has requested this stipulation in order to accommodate unusually heavy "docket congestion" which was caused, in large part, by a serious family medical issue which required a very significant portion of his time. As a result of this circumstance, the undersigned counsel for Plaintiff requires an additional two weeks of time to prepare Plaintiff's final merits brief in this case.
Since this Court modified the merits briefing schedule in response to the filing of Defendant-Intervenor Trinity Lumber Company's Motion to Modify Operating Schedule, the merits briefing schedule in this matter has been extended only once upon a stipulation of the parties initiated by Trinity's counsel in order to accommodate his planned paternity leave. ECF Doc. No. 99.
Accordingly, the parties request the Court approve this Stipulation, and enter the proposed changes to the briefing and hearing schedule.
The Court having considered the Stipulation of the parties,
