__________________________________/
On June 17, 2014, Defendant Graham Packaging Company (“Defendant”) filed a motion

19 seeking extension of time to file an answer to Plaintiff’s amended complaint due to the pending
20 motion for reconsideration of the Magistrate Judge’s ruling, granting Plaintiff’s motion to amend
21 complain. Defendant has requested permission to delay filing an answer until fourteen (14) days
22 following this Court’s ruling on Defendant’s motion for reconsideration. On June 19, 2014,
23 Plaintiff Sargis Sarkizi (“Plaintiff”) filed a statement of non-opposition to Defendant’s motion.
24 Because Defendant’s motion is unopposed and because district courts have the inherent power to
25 control their dockets (See Bautista v. Los Angeles County, 216 F.3d 837, 841 (9th Cir. 2000)),
26 Defendant’s motion to extend time is GRANTED. Defendant will not be required to file a

1 responsive pleading, if at all, until fourteen (14) days following this Court’s ruling on
2 Defendant’s motion for reconsideration.
