ERICA P. GROSJEAN, District Judge.
IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED, by and between the parties through their respective counsel of record, with the Court's approval, that Defendant shall have a 45-day extension of time, from November 12, 2018 to December 27, 2018, to respond to Plaintiff's Motion for Summary Judgment. All other dates in the Court's Scheduling Order shall be extended accordingly.
This is Defendant's first request for an extension of time. Defendant respectfully submits that good cause exists for the requested extension because Defendant's counsel requires additional time to review the record, to evaluate the issues raised in Plaintiff's Motion for Summary Judgment, to determine whether options exist for settlement, to prepare Defendant's response to Plaintiff's Motion if settlement is not possible, and to accommodate other workload demands. Plaintiff does not oppose Defendant's request for an extension of time.
Respectfully submitted,
Pursuant to the above stipulation of the parties, Defendant shall have a 45-day extension of time, to December 27, 2018, to file a responsive brief. All other dates in the Court's Scheduling Order shall be extended accordingly.
