U.S. EQUAL EMPLOYMENT
OPPORTUNITY COMMISSION,
Plaintiff,
vs.
Case No.: 3:23-cv-04984-JSC STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] ORDER ENLARGING BRIEFING SCHEDU FOR TESLA’S MOTION TO DISMISS AND RESETTING HEARING DATE
TESLA, INC.,
Defendant.
Plaintiff U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) and Defendant Tesla,
Inc. (Tesla) (collectively, the Parties) jointly submit this request in accordance with Local Rules 6-2
and 7-12 for the Court to enlarge the briefing schedule for the opposition and reply deadlines for
Tesla’s Motion to Dismiss the Complaint (ECF 27) and resetting the hearing date for this motion.
STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] ORDER TO ENLARGE BRIEFING SCHEDULING AND CONTINUE RELATED HEARING.
Case No.: 3:23-cv-04984-JSC
Page 2
Plaintiff EEOC filed the Complaint in this matter on September 28, 2023. (ECF 1) On
December 18, 2023, Defendant Tesla filed a Notice of Motion and Motion to Stay All Proceedings
and requested a hearing on February 1, 2024. (ECF 22) The current deadlines for the Parties to
submit an opposition and a reply there to are January 3, 2024, and January 10, 2024, respectively
(ECF 22-A). On December 26, 2023, Defendant Tesla filed a Notice of Motion and Motion to
Dismiss and requested a hearing on February 8, 2024. (ECF 27) The current deadlines for the Parties
to submit an opposition and a reply thereto are January 9, 2024, and January 16, 2024, respectively
(ECF 27-A).
The Parties seek modest additional time to prepare their respective briefings for the Motion
to Dismiss, the schedule for which has fallen over the holidays and overlaps with the Parties’
opposition and reply for the Motion to Stay. Extending the time to complete the briefing and hear
Tesla’s Motion to Dismiss, a date which was noticed by Tesla, will not otherwise disrupt any other
deadlines in the case. The only prior time modification requested and received by the Parties was to
vacate the initial case management deadlines until after the Court rules on Tesla’s Motion to Stay All
Proceedings (ECF 23, 24).
STIPULATION
WHEREAS, the Parties believe that good cause exists to enlarge the briefing schedule and
continue the related hearing date for Tesla’s Motion to Dismiss, as the briefing schedule overlaps
with briefing on the Motion to Stay, the additional requested time is modest, and the enlargement
will not disrupt any other deadlines in the case;
WHEREAS, the Parties have requested only one other continuance to vacate the initial case
deadlines and deadline to meet and confer pursuant to Rule 26(f) until the Court rules on the Motion
to Stay.
THEREFORE, it is hereby stipulated and agreed that, subject to Court approval, the briefing
deadlines for Tesla’s Motion to Dismiss will be enlarged as follows: The deadline for the EEOC to
oppose this Motion will be January 30, 2024, and the deadline for Tesla to reply to the opposition
will be February 6, 2024. Also, subject to Court approval, the Parties’ request that the hearing on this
Motion be held on February 22, 2024.
STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] ORDER TO
ENLARGE BRIEFING SCHEDULING AND CONTINUE
RELATED HEARING.
Case No.: 3:23-cv-04984-JSC
