On December 24, 2015, defendant in the above-captioned case filed a second motion to enlarge the deadline for responding to plaintiffs’ motion to compel certain documents withheld for privilege. Defendant requests a ten-day enlargement of time due to the effect that the holiday season is having on its ability to coordinate among multiple agencies and conduct an internal review, and represents that plaintiffs oppose its motion.
For good cause shown, defendant’s motion is GRANTED.
Defendant shall file its response to plaintiff’s motion to compel by no later than Thursday, January 21, 2016.
