P. 16(b)(4) governs the modification of scheduling orders. Rule 16 10 provides that “[a] schedule may be modified only for good cause and with the judge’s 11 consent.” Fed. R. Civ. P. 16(b)(4). The “good cause” standard focuses primarily on the 12 movant’s diligence. Coleman v Quaker Oats Co.,

232 F.3d 1271

, 1294-95 (9th Cir. 2000). 13 Local Rule IA 6-1(a) requires that a “stipulation to extend time must state the 14 reasons for the extension requested and must inform the court of all previous extensions of 15 the subject deadline the court granted.” Local Rule 26-3 further provides that a “motion or 16 stipulation to extend any date set by [any] scheduling order[] or other order must, in 17 addition to satisfying the requirements of LR IA 6-1, be supported by a showing of good 18 cause for the extension.” As detailed herein, the Parties stipulation meets these standards. 19 REASON FOR EXTENSION: Specifically, counsel for Plaintiff is currently dealing 20 with urgent personal and family health care matters that are interfering with counsel’s 21 ability to meet the current September 29, 2025, deadline for Plaintiffs to file their 22 Opposition to Defendant’s Motion for Summary Judgment. In addition, counsel for 23 Defendant will be on a prepaid nonrefundable family event from September 24 until 24 October 13, 2025. As a result, under the current briefing schedule, Defendant’s Reply brief 25 would be due on October 13, 2025, the day she returns to her office. Accordingly, the 26 parties request an additional extension of 14 days to file their remaining papers related to 27 Defendant’s Motion for Summary Judgment. 28 D.
