pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983.

On September 21, 2018, Defendants filed motion to extend the discovery and dispositive

20

motion deadlines. (ECF No. 160.) Defendants submit that Plaintiff does not oppose the request.

21

(ECF No. 165.)
The Court finds good cause to grant Defendants’ unopposed request. Fed. R. Civ. P. 16(b)(4).

However, rather than extend the deadlines for 180 days, the Court will extend the discovery deadline

24

ninety-days and the dispositive motion deadline sixty days thereafter, which will sufficiently allow for

25

the pending matters to be resolved, while keeping this matter efficiently moving ahead towards

26

resolution.
