Gibson et al v. CENDYN Group, LLC et al Doc. 164 Dockets.Justia.com 1 referred to herein as the “Parties”), by and through their respective counsel, for good cause 2 shown, hereby stipulate under Local Rule 7-1(c) and agree as follows: 3 4 5 6 1) Plaintiffs filed their amended complaint on November 27, 2023. (ECF No. 144.) 2) The Parties proposed a briefing schedule on December 7, 2023. Under the briefing schedule proposed by the parties, Defendants would file their motion to dismiss by 7 February 14, 2024; Plaintiffs would file their opposition by April 26, 2024; 8 Defendants would file their reply in support of the motion to dismiss by June 14, 9 2024. (ECF No. 149.) The Court granted in part and denied in part the stipulation. 10 The Court stated that “normal briefing schedule will apply” with Defendants filing 11 12 13 14 15 their motion to dismiss by February 14, 2024, Plaintiffs filing their opposition by February 28, 2024, and Defendants filing their reply by March 6, 2024. (ECF No. 150). 3) Certain Defendants moved on February 9, 2024 for an additional 6 pages for their 16 joint opening brief, which the Court granted on February 12, 2024. (ECF Nos. 158, 17 159.) 18 19 20 21 22 4) On February 14, 2024, Certain Defendants filed a thirty page joint motion to dismiss. (ECF No. 160). In addition, Defendants Blackstone Inc. and Blackstone Real Estate Partners VII L.P., (collectively, the “Blackstone Entities”) filed a ten page individual motion to dismiss. (ECF No. 161). The motions to dismiss were filed eighty-four days 23 after Plaintiffs filed their amended complaint and seventy-six days after the last new 24 defendant had been served. 25 26 27 28 5) Plaintiffs respectfully request (1) an additional week to respond to Defendants’ two motions to dismiss (increasing their time to respond from two weeks to three weeks), and (2) for the ability to file a single combined opposition of no more than 40 pages JOINT MOTION FOR EXTENSION 1 that will respond to both the Joint Motion to dismiss and the Individual Motion to 2 Dismiss by the Blackstone Entities. 3 6) Plaintiffs conferred regarding this issue with Defendants. Defendants state that, while 4 they recognize the Court stated the “normal briefing schedule will apply” and did not 5 seek an extension to that schedule, Defendants do not oppose Plaintiffs’ request 6 7 provided that, if the Court granted it, Defendants would receive a corresponding one 8 week extension for their Replies and five additional pages for the Joint Motion to 9 Dismiss (a total of no more than 17 pages for their Joint Reply).1 Plaintiffs do not 10 oppose Defendants’ request. 11 7) The Parties respectfully submit that an extension of seven days each for the normal 12 briefing schedule provided under the Local Rules for the Oppositions and Replies to 13 the Motions to Dismiss is appropriate due to the complexity of the issues and the 14 multiple briefs that were filed. 15 8) Plaintiffs respectfully submit that a combined brief of 40 pages will allow for greater 16 17 efficiency in addressing Certain Defendants’ arguments and will result in less over all 18 pages before the Court. Pursuant to Local Rule 7-3(b), Plaintiffs would have been 19 entitled to up to 48 pages of total briefing, so this proposal results in 8 less total pages 20 presented by the Plaintiffs. The 40 pages requested is also exactly equal to the 21 number of pages collectively used by the Joint and Blackstone Entities Motions to 22 23 Dismiss. The corresponding extensions for Certain Defendants’ joint replies would 24 allow them to efficiently respond to Plaintiffs’ opposition and address overlapping 25 26 27 28 1 For the avoidance of doubt, the proposed 17-page limit for the Joint Reply shall not apply to any reply the Blackstone Entities may file in connection with their motion to dismiss (ECF No. 161). The Blackstone Entities do not seek any modification of the applicable page limit in L.R. 7-3 for such reply.
