See the Court Policies section of this site. Although some extensions are routinely granted, lengthy and repeated extensions for filing documents are strongly disfavored. The court will routinely grant one ten-day extension. Requests to continue an oral argument are strongly disfavored and are granted only when counsel cannot appear for a compelling reason and no other counsel can appear instead.
