ANDERSON, Case No. 3:18-cv-00426-MMD-CBC Plaintiff, 16 MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME TO RESPOND TO PLAINTIFF’S MOTION TO COMPEL (ECF NO. 175) 17 v. 18 JAMES DZURENDA, et al., 19 Defendants. 20 Defendants, Kim Adamson, Romeo Aranas, Veronica Austin, Renee Baker, Susan Baros, 21 Francisco Bautista, Dwayne Baze, Quentin Byrne, David Carpenter, Tara Carpenter, Ian Carr, Anthony 22 Carrasco, Jeffrey Chandler, Nichole Cordova, James “Greg” Cox, Scott Davis, Russell Donnelly, James 23 Dzurenda, Arwen Feather, Pamela Feil, Gilberto Florio-Ramirez, Sheryl Foster, Tim Garrett, Coralee 24 Gorsline, Katherine Hegge, Desiree Hultenschmidt, William Kablitz, Walter Lima-Hernanez, Dominick 25 Martucci, E.

Ford, Attorney General of the State of Nevada, and Douglas R. Rands, Senior Deputy Attorney 28 General, hereby move this Court for an extension of time to respond to Plaintiff’s Motion to Compel 1 Dockets.Justia.com Case 3:18-cv-00426-MMD-CLB Document 187 Filed 06/29/20 Page 2 of 4 1 Disclosure to Interrogatories, (ECF No. 175). This Motion is made and based upon Federal Rule of Civil 2 Procedure 6(b)(1)(A), the attached Points and Authorities, the papers and pleadings on file herein, and 3 such other and further information as this Court may deem appropriate. MEMORANDUM OF POINTS AND AUTHORITIES 4 5 I. ARGUMENT 6 Defendants respectfully request an extension of time out from the current deadline (June 29, 7 2020) to respond to Plaintiff’s Motion to Compel Answers to Interrogatories in this case. Plaintiff has 8 served multiple requests for discovery on the Defendants. The new due date for that discovery would 9 be July 7, 2020. The Defendants respectfully request an extension, until that date, for responses to 10 respond to Plaintiff’s Motion. (ECF No. 175) 11 Defense counsel submits that he is not able to respond to the motion in a timely manner. 12 Counsel is finalizing a substantial dispositive motion in another matter which has taken an inordinate 13 amount of time. In fact, Counsel worked both Saturday and Sunday on the response which is due June 14 30, 2020. Judge Cobb has made it clear, in no uncertain terms, that there will be no further extensions 15 of time in Case No. 3:14-cv-00661-RCJ-WGC, Strohmeyer v Belenger, et. al. Counsel is also working 16 on the Settlement Brief in the Hepatitis C class action, which is due on July 1, 2020. Additionally, the 17 work restrictions of COVID C are continuing to affect the ability to timely respond to this motion. 18 Counsel would ordinarily not request an extension due to case load. However, this is a particularly 19 unusual time and occurrence. Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 6(b)(1) governs extensions of time and provides as follows: 20 21 23 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. 24 Defendants’ request is timely and will not hinder or prejudice Plaintiff’s case, but will allow for a 25 thorough opportunity to respond to the motion. The requested extension of time should permit the 26 Defendants time to adequately research draft, and submit their response in this case. Defendants assert 27 /// 28 /// 22 2 Case 3:18-cv-00426-MMD-CLB Document 187 Filed 06/29/20 Page 3 of 4 1 that the requisite good cause is present to warrant the requested extension of time. Therefore, the 2 Defendants request an extension, until July 7, 2020, to respond to Plaintiff’s Motion to Compel 3 Disclosure to Interrogatories, (ECF No. 175). 4 5 6 7 DATED this 29th day of June, 2020.
