19

the time 35 Days to April 12, 2017, for Plaintiff to file his Opening Brief, in accordance with the

ORDER
The Court finds good cause to extend the time to April 12, 2017, for Plaintiff to file his

3

Opening Brief. However, the Court looks unfavorably on multiple requests for extensions, as well as

4

requests for extensions based on counsel’s other cases. Counsel is assumed to have sufficient time to

5

devote to this matter. Accordingly, no further extensions of this date will be granted.

6

All other deadlines in the Court’s Scheduling Order are extended accordingly.
