Memorandum in Opposition to Motion
Memorandum in Opposition re 32 MOTION for Summary Judgment filed by Jessica Athas. (Attachments: # 1 Statement of Material Facts)(Van Dyke, Peter)
Order on Motion for Extension of Time to File Response/Reply to Motion
ORDER DENYING THIRD MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME (Doc. # 40 ). Defendants filed a motion for summary judgment more than four months ago on February 27, 2020. Doc. # 32 . By usual summary judgment standards, defendant's motion is not at all complex; the memorandum of law is just 9 pages long, and the statement of material facts is just 4 pages long and accompanied by just 2 evidentiary exhibits. Docs. # 33 , # 334 . Plaintiff has now filed a third motion for extension of time to file an objection or response despite the Court's prior order stating that it would not grant an additional extension of time. Doc. # 39 . Plaintiff's third motion does not establish good cause for a further extension of time. As to plaintiff's claim that "[p]laintiff needs this additional time to fully and research and respond to Defendant's Motion for Summary Judgment," Doc. # 40 , this is the same conclusory grounds that plaintiff has previously asserted to justify the past two motions for extension of time. Docs. # 36 , # 38 . As to plaintiff's claim concerning the parties' mediation, plaintiff's motion states that the mediation session took place more than two weeks ago on June 15, 2020, and plaintiff does nothing to explain why a past and apparently unsuccessful mediation session should now justify an additional extension of time. Notwithstanding that defendants have consented to plaintiff's request for more time, plaintiff has not shown good cause for an extension of time. See D. Conn. L. Civ. R. 7(b) (describing "good cause" standard and noting that "[a]greement of the parties to any extension of time does not by itself extend any time limitation or provide good cause for failing to comply with a deadline"). It is so ordered. Signed by Judge Jeffrey A. Meyer on 6/30/2020. (Gutierrez, Y.)
