U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission v. The New York Times Company, 1:26-cv-03704

ORDER

ROBYN F. TARNOFSKY, United States Magistrate Judge:

Pending before the Court is Defendant/Counterclaim Plaintiff The New York Times Company‘s (the “Times“) letter motion for an extension of time to respond to Plaintiff/Counterclaim Defendant U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission‘s (the “EEOC“) motion to strike affirmative defenses (ECF 42), so that the Times can file a joint response to the EEOC and Counterclaim Defendants EEOC Chair Andrea R. Lucas, Commissioner Kalpana Kotagal and Commissioner Brittany Pull Panuccio‘s (together, the “EEOC Parties“) forthcoming motion to dismiss the Times‘s counterclaims. (ECF 45.) The Times asserts that there is substantial overlap between the affirmative defenses and counterclaims and therefore argues that an extension would avoid duplicative briefing and will conserve judicial and party resources. The EEOC has indicated to the Times that it does not consent to the Times‘s extension request.

The EEOC shall file any opposition to the Times‘s letter motion for an extension of time to respond to the EEOC‘s motion to strike by August 7, 2026. The EEOC Parties’ deadline to respond to the Times‘s counterclaims is extended nunc pro tunc until August 10, 2026, pending further order of the Court.

DATED: August 5, 2026

New York, NY

SO ORDERED.
