Local Rule LR 6.01: COMPUTING AND EXTENDING TIMES

LR 6.01 − COMPUTING AND EXTENDING TIMES

(a) Extensions of Deadlines Generally. Unless otherwise provided in a case management order or other order, a request for an extension of time not made in open court or at a case management or status conference must:

(1) Be made by written motion;

(2) State the original deadline and the requested deadline;

(3) Provide the reasons why an extension is requested; and

(4) If all parties are represented by counsel, either:

(A) State whether there is any objection to the extension by counsel for any other party; or

(B) If counsel cannot be reached, describe all attempts made to confer with all other counsel and the results of such attempts.

(b) Exception for Discovery Responses. This requirement does not apply to deadlines for responding to discovery, which may be agreed to by the parties without the necessity of an order of the Court, provided such extension does not interfere with the case management schedule, other case deadlines, or scheduled hearings.
