| 2023-03-15 | | MINUTE ORDER. The Court is in receipt of Defendant's 21 Unopposed Motion for Extension of Time to File Motion for Summary Judgment, in which Defendant requests a three-week extension of its summary judgment deadline. This is Defendant's first request for an extension of this deadline and Plaintiff consents. Defendant explains that on March 13, 2023, Defendant made a discretionary supplemental release of withholdings and is currently considering making an additional supplemental release, which would significantly narrow the scope of issues that require briefing by the parties. The Court notes that in its 20 Scheduling and Procedures Order issued on December 16, 2022, the Court ordered the deadlines that were suggested by the parties. That Order stated that "[t]he dates identified above are firm; the Court has endeavored to give the parties the schedule that they have requested and expects that they will adhere to that schedule." However, in light of Defendant's representation about supplemental releases and therefore for good cause shown, the Court will GRANT the 21 Unopposed Motion and ORDER the 20 Scheduling and Procedures Order to be AMENDED as follows: Defendant's Motion for Summary Judgement shall be due by APRIL 7, 2023; Plaintiff's Opposition to Defendants' Motion for Summary Judgment and its Cross-Motion for Summary Judgment shall be due by MAY 16, 2023; Defendant's Opposition to Plaintiff's Motion for Summary Judgment and their Reply shall be due by JUNE 6, 2023; and Plaintiff's Reply in Support of its Cross-Motion for Summary Judgment shall be due by JULY 11, 2023.
