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

ERICA P. GROSJEAN, Magistrate Judge.

IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED, by the parties, through their respective counsel of record, that the time for responding to Plaintiff's Motion for Summary Judgment be extended for three weeks from April 28, 2017, to May 19, 2017. This is Defendant's first request for extension. Good cause exists as counsel for Defendant had to take unanticipated medical leave to care of her elderly mother and has had debilitating migraines, which necessitated additional time off. Because of the unanticipated leave, counsel for Defendant has not had sufficient time to respond to various pending matters that currently conflict with the current deadline of April 28, 2017 or adequately research and analyze the issues presented by Plaintiff. Defendant respectfully requests additional time to respond to Plaintiff's Motion for Summary Judgment. Defendant makes this request in good faith with no intention to unduly delay the proceedings.

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

ORDER

Based on the above stipulation and good cause appearing therein, the Court grants Defendant an extension of time to file her opposition to Plaintiff's opening brief. Defendant's opposition brief shall be filed no later than May 19, 2017. Plaintiff may file his reply brief no later than June 5, 2017.

No further extensions of this deadline will be granted.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
