Blake Lively asked the judge in her lawsuit against Justin Baldoni for a little extra time to explain how much she will be seeking in attorneys’ fees in the case … in part due to her busy schedule … TMZ has learned.
The “Gossip Girl” alum’s legal team wrote a letter to the federal judge in the since-settled legal battle. Blake recently lost her attempt to get punitive damages but was awarded legal fees.
A deadline was set for June 22 to submit her papers, but Blake said she would like some extra time … at least 7 days but up to another 30 days, which would push things out to mid-July.
She said if the judge plans to hear her arguments on how much she should be awarded in legal fees … her lawyers need time to pull together all the relevant arguments and billing records.
On top of that, Blake said she and her legal team have a “number of conflicting personal and professional obligations, including international travel.”
A judge has yet to rule on Blake’s request for an extension.
