On May 25, 2010, Plaintiff requested an extension of time from the Court. However, 21 on May 24, 2010, Plaintiff filed his opening brief. The order to show cause was therefore discharged 22 and the Court denied the request for an extension of time as moot, or unnecessary, on May 27, 2010. 23 On June 21, 2010, Plaintiff filed a request for clarification of the Court's May 27, 2010, 24 order.

The order did not penalize Plaintiff in any way. Rather, it addressed the request and denied it as unnecessary because Plaintiff had already filed his opening brief. The Court accepted the opening brief and this action is proceeding. In fact, Defendant filed his opposition to the opening brief on June 23, 2010. IT IS SO ORDERED. Dated:

June 23, 2010
