SAMANTHA SIX,
Plaintiffs,
v.
CITY OF FORT COLLINS, COLORADO,

______________________________________________________________________________
DEFENDANT’S UNOPPOSED MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME TO
FILE REPLY IN SUPPORT OF MOTION TO DISMISS
______________________________________________________________________________
Defendant City of Fort Collins, Colorado (the “City”), by its attorneys, Andrew D. Ringel,
Esq., Gillian Dale, Esq., and Christina S. Gunn, Esq., of Hall & Evans, LLC, hereby submits this
Unopposed Motion for Extension of Time to File Reply in Support of Motion to Dismiss, pursuant
to Fed. R. Civ. P. 6(b), as follows:
1. The City filed its Motion to Dismiss, requesting dismissal of each of the claims
against it, on August 2, 2016. [ECF 18]. Plaintiffs filed their Response to Defendant’s Motion to
Dismiss on September 1, 2016. [ECF 31]. The City’s Reply in Support of Motion to Dismiss is
presently due to be filed by September 19, 2016.
2. The undersigned counsel is presently subject to multiple other deadlines in this
Court and in other venues, including voluminous discovery responses in Powers v. Emcon,
U.S.D.C. Civil Action No. 14-cv-03006-KMT; a position statement in Sykes v. Colorado Access,

EEOC Charge No. 541-2016-02143; a reply brief in Renfandt v. New York Life Insurance
Company, U.S.D.C. Civil Action No. 16-cv-01812-MSK-GPG; and multiple time-sensitive pre-
litigation matters. In addition, the undersigned counsel needs sufficient time to obtain client
approval prior to filing the reply brief. Although other attorneys are entered in this case, the
undersigned counsel drafted the Motion to Dismiss and it is more efficient to have the same
attorney prepare the reply brief.
3. The City is therefore requesting a two-week extension of time, up to and including
October 3, 2016, in which to file its Reply in Support of Motion to Dismiss. The City has not
requested any prior extensions of this deadline. This matter is presently set for a preliminary
injunction hearing on December 19, 2016, and as a result it does not appear this brief extension
will delay these proceedings or prejudice any party.
4. Pursuant to D.C.COLO.LCivR 7.1(A), prior to filing the instant Motion, the
undersigned counsel conferred with counsel for the Plaintiffs, Andrew McNulty, Esq. Mr.
McNulty indicated the Plaintiffs do not object to this Motion.
5. Pursuant to D.C.Colo.LCivR 6.1(C) a copy of this motion has been served on the
undersigned’s client as indicated on the certificate of service.
WHEREFORE, Defendant City of Fort Collins, Colorado, respectfully requests a two-
week extension of time to file its Reply in Support of Motion to Dismiss, up to and including
October 3, 2016.
