1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT DISTRICT OF NEVADA Rose Tiffany Evans, Case No. 2:25-cv-00084-JAD-NJK 12 Order Granting Plaintiff, Defendant’s Motion For Two Day 13 Extension to File Opposition to Vv. Plaintiff's Motion to Compel a ot IS Defendant. 16 (First Request) 17 18 Defendant hereby submits this motion for 2-day extension to file its opposition to 19 || Plaintiff's Motion to Compel. ECF No. 57. This is the first, and last, request for the 29 || extension. 21 Introduction 22 Plaintiff filed a motion to compel on July 7, 2026. ECF No. 57. The court 23 || shortened the deadline for Defendant to submit its response to July 9, 2026, and required 94 || that any reply by Plaintiff be due by July 13, 2026. ECF No. 59. Defendant is requesting a 25 || two-day extension for its opposition due to Defendant’s counsel being out of the 26 ||Jurisdiction with limited ability to provide a full response to the motion. Defendant is 27 || aware that the two-day request would mean that the response deadline would be due on 2g ||Saturday, July 11, 2026, but due to the nature of this motion and the desire of the court to

1 || address the motion on an expeditated basis, is willing to work to get it done outside of 2 || usual business days. 3 || I. Law and Argument 4 FRCP 6(b) addresses extending time, stating: 5 (1) In General. When an act may or must be done within a specified time, the court may, for 6 good cause, extend the time: (A) with or without motion or notice if the court acts, or if a request is made, 7 before the original time or its extension expires; or (B) on motion made after the time has expired if the party failed to act 8 because of excusable neglect. 9 The proper procedure, when additional time for any purpose is needed, is to 10 || present the request for extension of time before time then fixed for purpose in question has 11 || expired. Canup v. Mississippi Val. Barge Line Co., 31 F.R.D. 282 (W.D.Pa.1962). Extensions 12 || of time may always be asked for, and usually are granted on a showing of good cause if 13 || timely made under subdivision (b)(1) of the Rule. Creedon v. Taubman, 8 F.R.D. 268 14 || (N.D.Ohio 1947). Good cause exists to enlarge the time by which a party may file a brief 15 || where additional time is needed to prepare such a brief. See O'Connor v. U.S. LR.S., 698 16 || F.Supp. 204, 205 (D. Nev. 1988) (district court granted plaintiffs' motion for an extension 17 || of time to oppose a motion for summary judgment); Germaine Music v. Universal Songs of 18 || Polygram, 275 F.Supp.2d 1288, 1301 (district court granted movant's motion for additional 19 || time to oppose a motion for summary judgment, in part due to movant's need to acquire 20 || or prepare extensive documents so as to be able to adequately oppose the motion). 21 Counsel for Defendant is at a training conference in Portland, Oregon from July 7, 22 || 2026 until Friday, July 10, 2026. At this conference he has access to his emails, but has a 23 || limited ability to access documents and filings. Counsel is scheduled to arrive back in Las 24 || Vegas at 12:35pm on July 10, 2026. 25 Counsel plans to immediately begin work on the response to the motion to compel 26 || upon his arrival back into Las Vegas on July 10, 2026. Counsel seeks a two-day extension 27 || of the Court’s deadline just to ensure that if there is a travel delay or other concern that 28 || arises that causes a delay on the arrival. Counsel is aware that the two-day request would

1 || mean that the response deadline would be due on Saturday, July 11, 2026, but due to the 2 nature of this motion and the desire of the court to address the motion on an expeditated 3 || basis, Counsel is willing to work to get it done outside of usual business days if an issue 4 || arises resulting in the travel delay. Counsel is going to do his best to ensure the response is 5 || filed before end of the day on July 10, 2026. Counsel has no opposition if this court also 6 || enlarges the time for Plaintiff to file her reply based upon counsel’s request. 7 Conclusion 8 Based on the reasons and circumstances above, Defendant respectfully requests 9 || that the Court grant this motion to extend the deadline for the response to the motion to 10 || compel to Saturday, July 11, 2026. 11 12 Respectfully submitted this 8th day of July 2026. 13 TODD BLANCHE Acting Attorney General of the United States 14 SIGAL CHATTAH 15 First Assistant United States Attorney Ls/ Nathan M.
