PLAINTIFF’S UNOPPOSED MOTION FOR TWO-WEEK EXTENSION TO FILE

Motion for Two-Week Extension to File Response to Defendant’s Motion to Dismiss and

CERTIFICATE OF CONFERRAL
Sarah Schielke, undersigned counsel for Plaintiff Jesse Cunningham, contacted
counsel for Defendants, via email on Thursday, November 9 regarding the relief
requested herein. Defendants responded and are unopposed to this Motion.
1. The current deadline for Plaintiff’s response to Defendants’ Motion to Dismiss [ECF
19] is Monday November 13.
2. Counsel for Plaintiff intended to work this Friday -Monday drafting that response.
However, on Thursday night one of counsel’s two children (5yo daughter) and her
Case No. 1:23-cv-01342-CNS-SBP Document 34 filed 11/13/23 USDC Colorado pg 1 of 3

husband (primary care provider) fell ill and tested positive for COVID. Counsel and
her other child (6yo daughter) tested negative. This has not been an ideal child care
scenario. Friday was Veteran’s Day with no school for the healthy child.
Understandably, no one was eager to babysit a child from the COVID -hit household.
In addition to the healthy child, Plaintiff’s counsel also had to care for the COVID -hit
portion of the household. Despite best efforts during those days, counsel has been
unable to work on Plaintiff’s Response at all.
3. Still, Plaintiff’s counsel held onto hopes of somehow managing to get this document
done by the existing deadline. Then, around lunch on Saturday she started feeling
symptoms herself. Sunday morning, counsel tested positive for COVID. As of this
morning (Monday) counsel is extremely sick with a fever, fatigue, and cough.
4. Counsel is requesting a 2-week extension to the existing deadline on Plaintiff’s
response to Defendants’ Motion to Dismiss, for a new filing deadline of Monday,
November 27, 2023.
5. No party will be prejudiced by the relief sought herein.
WHEREFORE the Plaintiff respectfully requests a 2-week extension to the deadline
for filing Plaintiff’s Response to Defendant City of Fort Collins and Sergeant Allen
Heaton’s Motion to Dismiss (ECF 19), to November 27, 2023.
Respectfully submitted this 13th day of November, 2023.
