Order by District Judge Noel Wise DENYING 19 Stipulation without prejudice to renew. Per the Court's Civil Standing Order, "[r]equests to extend deadlines or continue hearing dates will generally only be granted if...the requesting party has demonstrated that there is good cause (e.g., an unforeseen emergency)" and "the time extension is narrowly tailored to address the good cause." Section Q. The parties' request is neither narrowly tailored, nor supported by good cause. The parties may renew their request if they are able to remedy these deficiencies.
