RESPONSE, by All Defendants, to 79 MOTION to Expedite Briefing on Motion for Further Relief Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2202. (Lam, Ian) (Entered: 11/03/2025)

MINUTE ORDER at the direction of District Judge Tiffany M. Cartwright: Plaintiff's motion to expedite briefing Dkt. [79] is GRANTED IN PART and DENIED IN PART. The Court agrees with Defendants that motions to shorten time are procedurally improper under the Local Civil Rules and it is rare that briefing will be expedited in a typical civil case. The parties are usually expected to cooperate on briefing schedules that depart from the Local Civil Rules or use the telephonic hearing procedure under Local Civil Rule 7 for true emergencies. The Court also agrees with Defendants that four business days would be an unreasonably short amount of time for Defendants to respond to the motion. The Court, however, is faced with its own scheduling constraints due to the lapse in federal appropriations and intends to schedule a hearing on Plaintiffs Motion for Further Relief (Dkt. 74) for Thursday, November 20, 2025. To accommodate that hearing date, based on the Courts inherent power to manage its docket, the Court ORDERS that Defendants response to the Motion for Further Relief shall be filed no later than November 14, 2025. Plaintiffs reply shall be filed no later than November 19, 2025. The Clerk is respectfully requested to re-note the Motion for Further Relief Dkt. [74] for November 20, 2025. A hearing notice will follow. (ZMG)
