WALSH, Secretary of Labor, Case No.: 2:20-cv-00510-KJD-DJA 17 United States Department of Labor, 18 Plaintiff, DEFENDANTS’ MOTION FOR AN 19 EXTENSION OF TIME TO COMPLY vs. WITH THIS COURT’S ORDER TO 20 PRODUCE DOCUMENTS (ECF NO. UNFORGETTABLE COATINGS, INC.; 159) 21 UNFORGETTABLE COATINGS OF IDAHO, [First Request] 22 LLC, dba UNFORGETTABLE COATINGS; UNFORGETTABLE COATINGS OF 23 ARIZONA, LLC, dba UNFORGETTABLE COATINGS; UNFORGETTABLE COATINGS 24 OF UTAH, INC., dba UNFORGETTABLE 25 COATINGS; BLUE APE PAINTING, LLC; SHAUN MCMURRAY; SHANE SANDALL; 26 CORY SUMMERHAYS; and GALIA CARREJO, 27 Defendants. 1 Defendants Unforgettable Coatings, Inc., Unforgettable Coatings of Idaho, LLC, dba 2 Unforgettable Coatings, Unforgettable Coatings of Arizona, LLC, dba Unforgettable Coatings, 3 Unforgettable Coatings of Utah, Inc., dba Unforgettable Coatings, Shaun McMurray, Shane 4 Sandall, Cory Summerhays, and Galia Carrejo (“Defendants”), by and through their counsel of 5 record, the law firm of Jackson Lewis, P.C., submit this request for an extension of time to produce 6 documents pursuant to this Court’s order. ECF No. 159. This request is based on the following 7 Memorandum of Points and Authorities, all pleadings and documents on file with the Court, and 8 any oral argument that the Court deems proper. 9 MEMORANDUM OF POINTS AND AUTHORITIES 10 Defendants respectfully request this Court extend the time to comply with ECF No. 159, 11 from May 25, 2022, to May 31, 2022. A party moving to extend a court ordered deadline must 12 demonstrate good cause supports the request. Nevada Federal Local Court Rule 26-3. The good 13 cause inquiry is focused on the movant’s reasons for seeking an extension and primarily considers 14 the movant’s diligence. In re W. States Wholesale Nat. Gas Antitrust Litig., 715 F.3d 716, 737 (9th 15 Cir. 2013). Courts may also consider other pertinent circumstances, including whether the movant 16 was diligent in seeking modification of the deadline once it became apparent that the movant 17 required relief from the deadline at issue. Sharp v. Covenant Care LLC, 288 F.R.D. 465, 467 (S.D. 18 Cal. 2012). 19 Here, good cause supports this request because Defendants have worked diligently to 20 complete the production of the requested text messages. In compliance with this Court’s order, 21 Defendants will be producing today (May 25, 2022) voluminous financial documents and text 22 messages. However, Defendants require additional time to complete a review of a subset of the 23 remaining text messages to ensure any privileged information is properly redacted and included on 24 the privilege log. Since this Court’s order, Defendants have worked to review approximately six 25 years’ worth of text messages. Defendants’ initial review of these messages reveals that at least 26 some of the messages contain discussions of legal advice, work product, and communications made 27 in anticipation of litigation. As many of these messages predate current defense counsel’s work diligently to complete this review and will work to ensure the messages are produced on o before May 31, 2022. Defendants have communicated with Plaintiff’s counsel regarding the instan request and the Parties appear to be in agreement as to Defendants’ proposal herein for completin; the production. Accordingly, Defendants respectfully request the Court grant this short □□□□□□□□□ of time. DATED this 25" day of May, 2022. 7 JACKSON LEWIS P.C. 8 /s/ Joshua A. Sliker 9 Paul T.
