ORDER
The Court is in receipt of Defendant's "Stipulation for a Second Extension of Time for Defendant to file Her [Sic] Responsive Brief." (Doc. 23.) Pursuant to parties' "Stipulation for a First Extension of Time for Defendant to File Her Responsive Brief" (Doc. 22), Defendant's response to Plaintiff's Opening Brief was due July 10, 2019, the same day on which Defendant filed the present second request for extension.
Requests for extension are governed by Rule 144 of the Local Rules of the United States District Court, Eastern District of California ("Local Rules"). Local Rule 144(d) explains that "[r]equests for Court-approved extensions brought on the required filing date for the pleading or other document are looked upon with disfavor." The parties are hereby ADMONISHED that any future requests for extensions of time shall be brought in advance of the required filing date and be supported by good cause under Fed. R. Civ. P. 16(b)(4). However, given defense counsel's representations regarding his "extremely heavy workload" (see Doc. 23 at 1), and the fact that Plaintiff consents to the request, the Court GRANTS the parties' request for an extension.
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Defendant has until August 9, 2019, to file a response to Plaintiff's Opening Brief. All other dates in the Scheduling Order (Doc. 9) shall be extended accordingly.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
