Plaintiff Joshua J. Cantu (“Plaintiff”) is a former California state prisoner proceeding pro se
in this civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983.
On February 27, 2015, the Court ordered Defendants to respond to Plaintiff’s February 25,
2015, motion to extend the dispositive motion deadline.
After not receiving a response within the allotted time, the Court issued an order to show
cause on March 17, 2015. Defendants were ordered to show cause why sanctions should not be
imposed for failing to comply with the February 27, 2015, Court order.
Shortly after the order issued, Defendants filed their response, along with a request for a late
filing. In the request, Defendants’ counsel states that she was out of the office for trial preparation

26
and trial from March 2, 2015, through March 16, 2015. ECF No. 131, at 1. She therefore missed the
27
March 12, 2015, deadline to respond to the order to show cause.
