STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED ORDER] TO EXTEND BY FOUR BUSINESS DAYS DEFENDANTS' DEADLINE TO FILE THEIR REPLY IN SUPPORT OF THEIR SUMMARY JUDGMENT MOTION AND THEIR OPPOSITION TO PLAINTIFF'S CROSS-MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT
RICHARD SEEBORG, District Judge.
Pursuant to Rule 6(b)(1) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and Local Civil Rule 6-2, Defendants request and the parties, by and through undersigned counsel, have conferred and hereby stipulate to and respectfully request that (1) the Court extend the deadline by four business days to January 14 for Defendants to file their combined opposition to plaintiff's cross-motion for summary judgment and their reply in support of their motion for summary judgment; (2) the Court correspondingly extend by four business days to January 28 the deadline for Plaintiff's reply in support of its cross-motion for summary judgment; and (3) that the Court retain the February 18, 2016 hearing on these motions as currently calendared.
Defendants provide the following bases in support of their request:
1. On September 25, 2015, the parties submitted a stipulated request to set a briefing schedule for filing cross-motions for summary judgment. See ECF No. 30.
2. Thereafter, the Court adopted the parties' proposed schedule and set the following dates for briefing:
a. On or before October 30, 2015, defendants will file their motion for summary judgment.
b. On or before December 4, 2015, plaintiff will file its combined cross-motion for summary judgment and opposition to defendants' motion.
c. On or before January 8, 2016, defendants will file their combined opposition to plaintiff's motion and reply in support of their motion.
d. On or before January 22, 2016, plaintiff will file its reply in support of its motion.
See ECF No. 31.
3. Pursuant to this briefing schedule, Defendants filed their summary judgment motion on October 30, and Plaintiff filed its cross-motion for summary judgment and opposition to Defendants' motion on December 4, 2015. See ECF Nos. 32, 34.
4. Defendants need a four business-day extension of their current deadline from January 8 to January 14 to complete their combined opposition to plaintiff's motion and reply in support of their motion. Specifically, Defendants need this additional time to allow the equity holders in the document at issue to consider the extent to which redactions in the document may be lifted. That process was hampered by the unavailability of various officials during the recent holiday period and made more difficult by the undersigned counsel's work on several other briefs in other cases in December and in early January.
5. Defendants also seek a concomitant four business-day extension for Plaintiff's current deadline for its reply in support of its motion for summary judgment from January 22 to January 28.
6. Both parties request that the hearing date for these cross-motions remain on February 18, 2016.
