RICHARD F. BOULWARE, II, District Judge.
IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED AND AGREED by and between Appellant, Caterpillar Financial Services Corp., through their counsel, Snell & Wilmer, L.L.P. and Respondent, Capriati Construction Corp. Inc., through its counsel, the law firm of Kung & Brown, and pursuant to LR IA 6-1, that Appellant Caterpillar Financial Services Corp., shall have an additional 7 days, until January 30, 2018, to file an Reply Brief herein. Appellant filed its Opening Brief on December 22, 2017. Respondent filed its Answering Brief on January 9, 2018. No hearing is yet scheduled in this matter.
This is the first request of any kind to extend time to file the Reply Brief. There is good cause for Appellant's request, including the following: Blakeley Griffith, a primary attorney on this matter since its inception, is currently on maternity leave. Undersigned counsel, who is working on this matter on this appeal, and while Ms. Griffith is on leave, has had family illness issues in the week leading up to the due date of the Reply Brief, and was also involved in a minor car accident.
As such, the modest extension Appellant requests of seven (7) days is supported by good cause.
