An evidentiary hearing is currently set for September 29, 2017, at 11:00 a.m. (ECF No.

17

58). On August 24, 2017, Plaintiff filed a motion for interpreter. (ECF No. 60). According to

18

Plaintiff, he needs an interpreter because he has a difficult time speaking and understanding the

19

English language.
The Court finds good cause to grant Plaintiff’s motion. An interpreter will be provided

20
21

for Plaintiff at the upcoming evidentiary hearing.

22

As there will be an interpreter at the evidentiary hearing, the parties should be prepared to

23

take frequent breaks to allow sufficient time for the interpreter to rest, as this type of

24

interpretation is very taxing on the interpreter. The parties should also be prepared to put on their

25

evidence efficiently in order to allow for the additional time for interpretation and frequent rest

26

breaks.
