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

SHEILA K. OBERTO, Magistrate Judge.

IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED by the parties, through their undersigned attorneys, to extend the time 30 Days to October 19, 2016, for Plaintiff to file his Opening Brief, in accordance with the Court's Scheduling Order. This is Plaintiff's second request for an extension. This extension is requested because 1) Plaintiff's counsel had health problems this summer that caused a work backlog; 2) Plaintiff's counsel mis-calendared the due date for the Opening Brief; 3) when Plaintiff's counsel was working on the Opening Brief last week, she lost her work because of a computer "glitch" of unknown origin; and 4) Plaintiff's counsel has six briefs due in the next two weeks, one Ninth Circuit brief, four Opening Briefs and one Reply brief and so will not be able to immediately resume work on this Opening Brief.

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

Having considered Plaintiff's amended Stipulation for Extension of Time to File Plaintiff's Motion for Summary Judgment above (Doc. 17), and in view of Defendant's lack of opposition to Plaintiff's request for an extension, the Court finds that good cause has been shown to warrant granting the request. See Fed. R. Civ. 16(b)(4).

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the deadline by which Plaintiff shall file his summary judgment brief is extended to October 19, 2016. Defendant's responsive brief shall be filed on or before November 21, 2016, and Plaintiff may file an optional reply brief on or before December 9, 2016.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
