On November 28, 2016, Plaintiff filed a motion seeking an order continuing his

16

December 8, 2016 deposition up to and including January 28, 2017. (ECF Nos. 53 &

17

54.) Plaintiff stated he wished to have a court-appointed attorney present at the

18

deposition, and was still waiting for the Court to rule on his November 28, 2016 motion to

19

appoint counsel.

The Court denied Plaintiff’s request for the appointment of counsel on December

21

5, 2016. (ECF No. 57.) Plaintiff proffered no other reason for requesting a continuance,

22

nor does it appear Plaintiff attempted to meet and confer with Defense counsel regarding

23

the scheduling of the deposition prior to seeking Court intervention.

Plaintiff’s motion for a continuance of his deposition is DENIED.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
