On July 11, 2018, the Court issued an order to show cause (ECF No. 13), requiring

Plaintiff to show cause why the action should not be dismissed in light of Plaintiff’s failure to

file an opening brief within the time required under the Court’s scheduling order (ECF No. 6-

20

was not timely filed and requests an extension of time to file the opening brief. Plaintiff has

21

also filed his opening brief (ECF No. 15) concurrently with his response.
The Court finds that Plaintiff has demonstrated good cause for allowing the case to

22

proceed and providing the requested extension of time. Accordingly,

24

IT IS ORDERED that the order to show cause (ECF No. 13) is DISCHARGED, and
