ROBERT C. JONES, District Judge.
Plaintiffs JOAQUIN ROCES, JUAN LOPEZ, JUDITH LOPEZ, JAIME VILLA and MELISA CHAVEZ (plaintiffs) and defendant RENO HOUSING AUTHORITY (defendant or RHA), by and through their respective counsel of record, hereby stipulate and agree that defendant Housing Authority of the City of Reno may have up to, and including, May 25, 2018, as the time within which to file its opposition to the plaintiffs' objection to RHA's application for the payment of costs, which would otherwise be due on May 1, 2018. The reason for this stipulation to extend the time for the RHA to file its response is that the RHA's opposition to the plaintiffs' objection to the RHA's application for the payment of costs comes at an inopportune time for both of the attorneys for the RHA.
Commencing April 28, 2018, Steve Kent will be out of the country until May 14, 2018, or thereabouts. Then, because of other, pre-existing time commitments including parts of two days in Las Vegas for client business on behalf of the State of Nevada, preparation for an impending oral argument before the full bench of the Nevada Supreme Court, a meeting with clients lasting nearly the entire day which included participants who traveled from Sacramento, and other matters, Mr. Zeh, the RHA's other legal counsel, has been unable to either meet with co-counsel, Mr. Kent, or engage in the research for the pleading in opposition to the plaintiffs' objection to an award of costs. Ironically, Mr. Zeh will also be out of the country, commencing May 12, 2018, returning to the office, May 22, 2018. The parties stipulate that good cause exists to support the stipulation for the extension time herein.
This is the first request for an extension of time regarding this pleading. It is not made for reasons of delay. If the stipulation is approved, the RHA will have, up to, and including, May 25, 2018, as the time within which to file its response to the plaintiffs' objection to the RHA's application for costs.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
