29		29 order Order on Motion for Extension of Time Thu 09/05 2:52 PM ORDER denying28 Motion for Extension of Time. The Defendant's Motion to amend the Second Motion for Extension of Time to Respond to Plaintiff's Request for Production of Documents was filed after the Court's Order 27 denying the extension. Therefore, the Defendant is moving for reconsideration under Local Rule 7(c). Local Rule 7(c)(1) states: "motions for reconsideration shall not be routinely filed and shall satisfy the strict standard applicable to such motions. Such motions will generally be denied unless the movant can point to controlling decisions or data that the court overlooked in the initial decision or order." The Defendant's motion fails to satisfy the reconsideration standard. For these reasons and the reasons set forth in 27 , Defendant's motion is DENIED. Signed by Judge Vanessa L. Bryant on 09/05/2019.(Diamond, Matthew) Related: [-]

27		27 order Order on Motion for Extension of Time Tue 09/03 7:59 PM ORDER denying26 Motion for Extension of Time to Respond to Plaintiff's First Request for Production. Local Rule 7(b) requires counsel to show why, in the exercise of due diligence, counsel was not able to meet the presumptively reasonable deadline established by the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. The Court previously granted counsel's motion for an extension [Dkt. 20 ] from 08/02/2019 to 09/02/2019 to coordinate production among various City departments. At the close of the deadline, counsel sets forth the identical basis for the requesting a second extension. This fails to satisfy the good cause requirement of Local Rule 7(b). The Court notes that discovery closes on 11/01/2019. Signed by Judge Vanessa L. Bryant on 09/3/2019. (Diamond, Matthew) Related: [-]
