Docket(#129) MINUTE entry before the Honorable Martha M. Pacold: Defendants, through their corporate general counsel, filed a motion for an extension of time to find new counsel and file a response to plaintiff's motion for summary judgment #128 . Defendants seek an extension of time up through May 2, 2022 to find new counsel and file a response to plaintiff's motion. Defendants' motion raises concerns about the length of the extension, given the issues discussed at the 2/18/2022 status hearing. Nonetheless, given the time necessary for defendants to obtain new counsel, and for new counsel to get up to speed on the case and prepare the response, the motion #128 is granted. Defendants will be given until 5/2/2022 in which to find new counsel and respond to plaintiff's motion for summary judgment #121 . Plaintiff's reply is due by 5/23/2022. However, given the length of the extension and the concerns the court noted, this will be a final extension. In addition, the parties are reminded to comply with the court's local rules when submitting their briefs and Local Rule 56.1 statements. Failure to comply with the local rules, which facilitate the clear, comprehensible, and efficient presentation of the evidence and arguments, may result in the court striking a non-compliant brief or statement.
