Case No. 2:22-CV-00490-DMC STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] ORDER, ON PLANTIFF’S REQUEST TO EXTEND THE 28 SCHEDULING ORDER FILED ON APRIL 12, 2022 (ECF No. 6) 1 modified only for good cause and with the judge’s consent.” Fed. R. Civ. P. 16(b)(4). “The 2 schedule may be modified ‘if it cannot reasonably be met despite the diligence of the party 3 seeking the extension.’” Zivkovic v. Southern California Edison Co., 302 F.3d 1080, 1087 (9th 4 Cir. 2002) (quoting Johnson, 975 F.2d at 607). 5 6 Good cause exists for this extension as Counsel for Plaintiff experienced a medical 7 emergency during pendency of this case and lacked the ability to comply with the April 12, 8 2022 (ECF No. 6) Scheduling Order. Thereafter, upon Counsel’s return to her office on July 9 25, 2022, Counsel was under the erroneous belief the request for extension had been filed as 10 the file appeared complete. Counsel was awaiting an amended scheduling order to be issued, 11 12 not realizing the pleading in the file was not endorsed, Counsel failed to comply with the July 13 29, 2022, deadline set forth in the Order. It is believed the medical issues that precluded 14 Plaintiff’s Counsel from performing by the prescribed time limit have been resolved and 15 Counsel respectfully request the Scheduling Order of April 12, 2022, be modified and an 16 Amended Order be issued. 17 18 There has been no previous request for extensions of time in this matter. It is noted that 19 Request for Court- approved extensions brought on the required filing date for the pleading or 20 other document are looked upon with disfavor. Local Rule 144 (d). 21 Now, therefore, IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED by and between all the parties to this 22 action as follows: 23 24 25
