(ECF No. 94.) Plaintiff objects that defense 15 counsel should have informed the Court at an earlier time of Defendant Deathriage’s medical 16 situation. Plaintiff asserts that defense counsel has intentionally misled the Court, and he is prejudiced. 17 Plaintiff’s arguments were addressed at the April 21, 2017 hearing on Defendants’ motion. The 18 Court found no bad faith by Defendants or their counsel, and instead found good cause to continue the 19 trial date. More importantly, the defendant has not argued any undue prejudice to him nor has the 20 Court found any undue prejudice to Plaintiff under the circumstances. The Court advises the Plaintiff 21 to prepare for his trial as a number of deadlines are coming due soon for trial and a failure to file those 22 documents in a timely fashion could prejudice the plaintiff in presenting his claim to the jury. 23 Accordingly, Plaintiff’s objections are HEREBY OVERRULED. 24 25 IT IS SO ORDERED. 26 Dated: 27 28 May 15, 2017 UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE
