Local Rule LR 6.1: Extension by Clerk

LR 6.1 Extension by Clerk. In civil cases, the Clerk of the Court is authorized and directed to grant, sign, and enter orders on consent, where permitted by law, extending time within which to plead or otherwise defend or make any motions (except a motion for a new trial), for an aggregate time not to exceed fourteen (14) days, if the time originally prescribed or extended within which to plead, defend, or move has not expired. Any such extension may be granted only once with respect to a pleading, and any such order entered by the Clerk may be suspended, altered, or rescinded by the Court for good cause shown. Extensions of time may not be obtained by stipulation between counsel and must either be sought from the Clerk as set forth above, or be requested by motion to the Court.
