CERTIFICATE OF CONFERRAL
Sarah Schielke, undersigned counsel for Plaintiff Derrick Groves, contacted
counsel for Defendants via email and is authorized to state they are unopposed.
1. The current deadline for Plaintiff’s response to Defendants’ Motion to Dismiss [ECF
42] is Monday November 27.
2. Last night everyone in Plaintiff’s counsel’s family (including Plaintiff’s counsel and her
5/6 y.o. kids) fell ill with food poisoning.

3. Plaintiff’s counsel has been working on the response due today over the past week
since recovering from COVID herself just last weekend, and is still endeavoring today,
working from home, to get it finished in time. However today is also the deadline for
this Response to Defendants’ MTD in the 4 other related cases and with time getting
tight and everyone still quite sick at home it seems that extraordinary circumstances
may be conspiring to require another day (or two at the most) to get this task properly
completed across all 5 cases.
4. Counsel is requesting a 2-day extension to the existing deadline on Plaintiff’s
response to Defendants’ Motion to Dismiss, for a new filing deadline of Wednesday,
November 29, 2023.
5. Counsel has requested a previous extension due to her family first, and then a week
later, her, getting COVID. No party will be prejudiced by the relief sought herein and,
given the progress she’s already made drafting the response at issue since returning
to work last week, counsel is certain that no further extensions will be necessary.
WHEREFORE the Plaintiff respectfully requests a 2-day extension to the deadline for
filing Plaintiff’s Response to Defendants’ Motion to Dismiss (ECF 42), to November 29,
2023.
Respectfully submitted this 27th day of November, 2023.
