`
`
`
`Motion For Extension of Deadline for 5AC
`
`
`Plaintiff, Ashley Gjovik , respectfully submits the following Administrative
`
`Motion requesting to Extend the Deadline for the Fifth Amended Complaint
`
`(currently due on Oct. 29 2024) , pending the concurrently filed Motion to Stay
`
`and pending appeal.
`
`Fed. R. Civ. P. 6(b) allows the extension of time periods set by the rules,
`
`court order, or stipulation. It allows the court to extend deadlines "for good cause"
`
`if the request is made before the original deadline expires. Civil L. R. 6 -3 also
`
`allows for motions to enlarge time . 1
`
`Plaintiff hereby respectfully request s from this Court an extension and/or
`
`stay of the deadline for filing the Fifth Amended Complaint in the above -captioned
`
`case. This request is based on the following grounds and is additionally supported
`
`by the attached Declaration, Exhibit C, and the concurrently filed M otion to Stay
`
`pending appeal. As required, a Proposed Order is also attached.
`
`The deadline for the 5AC should be delayed as a matter of judicial economy.
`
`The parties are currently engaged in an appeal in the United States Court of
`
`Appeals for the Ninth Circuit which directly impacts the matters at issue in the
`
`requested amendment. The appeal raises significant legal issues and there is a
`
`
`1 Civ i l L . R . 6 - 3 (a) : “ … m ay b e no mo r e t ha n 5 pa g es in le n gt h a n d mu st b e ac c o mp a n i ed by a

`
`
`
`substantial
`
`likelihood that the appellate court will rule
`
`in
`
`favor of the
`
`plaintiff/appellant. (See concurrently filed Motion to Stay).
`
`Plaintiff respectfully request s that the deadline for filing the Fifth Amended
`
`Complaint be extended to at least two weeks , ideally 30 days, following a decision
`
`on the Motion to Stay – if the court denies the request for a Stay. Or if the Stay
`
`of Proceedings is granted, then to stay the Fifth Amended Complaint along with
`
`the other proceedings.
`
`In the alternative, if the court denies the Motion to Stay, and other wise
`
`denies this request for extension, then Plaintiff respectfully request s to please
`
`allow an increase in the page limit for the complaint in order to 1) retain the
`
`claims dismissed with prejudice for the sake of preser ving error for later appeal,
`
`and to 2) ensure adequate pleading of claims that were given leave to amend.
`
`As of right now, there is only one single page to contain all amendments for
`
`multiple complicated claims and to still retain dismissed claims to preser ve er ror.
`
`After receiving a motion to enlarge or shorten time and any opposition, the
`
`Judge may grant, deny, modify the requested time change or schedule the matter
`
`for additional briefing or a hearing. Civil L. R. 6 -3(6)(d). Plaintiff respectfully
`
`requests the court grant this motion to either:
`
`- Stay the deadline for the Fifth Amended Complaint pending a decision
`
`on the concurrent Motion to Stay, or
`
`- Stay the deadline for the Fifth Amended Complaint under the Motion to
`
`Stay all proceedings , or

`
`- Extend the deadline for the Fifth Amended Complaint at least 14
`
`calendar days and allow up to 200 pages instead of 75 pages, in order to
`
`preser ve error of dismissed claims and to ensure due process.
