ORDER

MIKE KNOWLES, et al.,

15

Defendants.

17

On December 2, 2014, plaintiff’s appointed counsel made an ex parte telephonic request

18

to the court for an extension of time to comply with the December 2, 2014 deadlines set forth in

19

the court’s November 19, 2014 order (see ECF No. 203). Plaintiff’s counsel, Ms. Joann Leigh

20

Pheasant, a sole practitioner, informed the court that she recently fractured her wrist. Despite

21

attempting to prepare an affidavit in support of her request for extended time, Ms. Pheasant states

22

that she is unable to comply with the court’s order until her cast is removed in January 2015. Ms.

23

Pheasant stated that she attempted unsuccessfully to obtain a stipulated request for extension of

24

time from defense counsel. The court discerns no prejudice to defendants in granting plaintiff’s

25

request.
