ORDER GRANTING MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME TO PROVIDE DECLARATION OF DEFENDANT WALSH
WILLIAM G. COBB, Magistrate Judge.
Defendants, Linda Granchowski and Summer Hanson-Jacobsen, by and through counsel Aaron D. Ford, Attorney General of the State of Nevada, and Dennis W. Hough, Deputy Attorney General, hereby submit their Motion for Extension of Time to provide a Declaration by Defendant Lisa Walsh. This Motion is based on Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 6(b)(1)(A), the following Memorandum of Points and Authorities.
MEMORANDUM OF POINTS AND AUTHORITIES
I. ARGUMENT
Defendants respectfully request a seven (7) day extension of time from the current deadline (June 14 2019) to file a motion to provide a Declaration of Defendant Walsh. Counsel has explained to Defendant Walsh that Plaintiff Entsminger was properly within his rights and duties to contact Defendant Eddings when she Answered pro per. Since that time, Ms. Eddings has requested the Attorney General's Office represent her. Ms. Eddings has accepted our offer and Joined in Defendants' Answer (ECF No. 70). Counsel has also admonished Defendant Walsh not to confront or punish Plaintiff Entsminger regarding previous contact with Ms. Eddings. Counsel has also written to Plaintiff Entsminger explaining that Defendant Eddings is now represented by the Attorney General's Office. Defendant Walsh is unavailable to complete a Declaration at the present time. She will be available next week. The requested extension of time should afford Defendants adequate time file a Declaration 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 Plaintiff's case, but will allow for an appropriate Declaration to be made. The requested seven (7) day extension of time should permit Defendants time to file a Declaration of Defendant Walsh. Defendants assert that the requisite good cause is present to warrant the requested extension of time.
For these reasons, Defendants respectfully request a seven (7) day extension of time from the current deadline to file Defendant Walsh's Declaration, with a new deadline to and including Friday, June 21, 2019.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
