ORDER
MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME TO FILE RESPONSIVE PLEADING
CARLA BALDWIN CARRY, Magistrate Judge.
Defendants, Tara Carpenter, E.K. McDaniel, and Mark Sorci (Defendants), by and through counsel, Adam Paul Laxalt, Attorney General of the State of Nevada, and Ian E. Carr, Deputy Attorney General, hereby submit their Motion for Extension of Time to File a Responsive Pleading. This Motion is based on Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 6(b)(1)(A), the following Memorandum of Points and Authorities, and all papers and pleadings on file in this action.
MEMORANDUM OF POINTS AND AUTHORITIES
I. ARGUMENT
Defendants respectfully request a thirty (30) day extension of time out from the current deadline (October 29, 2018) to file a responsive pleading in this case. Counsel for Defendants is confronted with numerous competing deadlines and a high workload due to staffing changes in the Office of the Attorney General. However, such obstacles are currently being resolved and the requested extension of time should afford Defendants adequate time to file a responsive pleading in this case.
Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 6(b)(1) governs extensions of time and provides as follows:
When an act may or must be done within a specified time, the court may, for good cause, extend the time: (A) with or without motion or notice if the court acts, or if a request is made, before the original time or its extension expires; or (B) on motion made after the time has expired if the party failed to act because of excusable neglect.
Defendants' request is timely and its limited nature will not hinder or prejudice Plaintiffs case, but will allow for a thorough response to Plaintiffs allegations. The requested thirty (30) day extension of time should permit Defendants time to adequately research and respond to Plaintiffs allegations. Defendants assert that the requisite good cause is present to warrant the requested extension of time.
For these reasons, Defendants respectfully request a thirty (30) day extension of time from the current deadline to file a responsive pleading in this case, with a new deadline to and including Wednesday, November 28, 2018.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
