Only the Court may continue a trial, hearing, or other proceeding. A stipulation to extend
a deadline is effective only with Court approval. But the parties may stipulate, without Court
approval, to extend a deadline for responding to a specific discovery request or for making a
Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26 disclosure if the extension does not interfere with the time set
for any of these: completing discovery, submitting or responding to a motion, or trial.
