By the motion, Plaintiff seeks a 30-day continuance to submit the required copies 23 of the complaint. Plaintiff explains that he needs additional time because he is housed in an 24 institution that does not provide copies for inmates and he must use outside services. The Court 25 construes Plaintiff's motion as a request for an extension of time to submit the copies of the 26 complaint. 27 Good cause appearing, Plaintiff's request is GRANTED. Within thirty (30) days from the 28 1 DEON WADE,
