On July 6, 2015, Defendants filed a motion to modify the Court’s February 4, 2015, order setting the dispositive motion deadline. (ECF No. 45.) On February 4, 2015, the Court granted Plaintiff’s second request to modify the scheduling 22 order. (ECF No. 37.) In that order, the Court reset the deadline for filing of any dispositive to July 5, 23 2015-which fell on a weekend resulting in the parties’ dispositive motions being due July 6, 2015, the 24 next business day. Fed. R. Civ. P. 6(a). 25 Defense counsel submits that despite his best efforts, he has been unable to complete 26 preparation of Defendants’ motion for summary judgment by the July 6, 2015, deadline. Defense 27 outlines several other pending cases and deadlines which have impacted his ability to prepare and file 28 a motion for summary judgment in this case. Counsel requests until August 4, 2015, to prepare and 1 1 file their motion. Because Defendants have shown good cause to warrant an extension of the 2 dispositive motion deadline, the Court need not await the deadline for Plaintiff to file a response. Based on a showing of good cause, it is HEREBY ORDERED that Defendants are granted to 3 4 and including August 4, 2015, to file their motion for summary judgment. 5 6 IT IS SO ORDERED. 7 Dated: 8 July 7, 2015 UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 2
