Plaintiff is proceeding in this action pro se. The proceeding has accordingly been referred
to the undersigned by Local Rule 302(c)(21).
On March 20, 2019, the undersigned recommended that this action be dismissed and

20

granted plaintiff twenty-one days to file objections. ECF No. 43. Due to a medical condition,

21

plaintiff has had difficulty meeting various deadlines over the course of this action and has been

22

granted extensions on numerous occasions. ECF Nos. 13, 17, 20, 26, 37. On April 8, 2019, two

23

days before objections were due, plaintiff requested a 45-day extension of the deadline due to

24

scheduled medical appointments. ECF No. 44. On April 10, 2019, the undersigned granted in

25

part plaintiff’s request, giving her until May 10, 2019 to file her objections. ECF No. 45.

26

On May 6, 2019, plaintiff requested a further extension of 30 days. ECF No. 46. In the

27

instant request, plaintiff states that she requires an extension because on April 26, 2019 she was

28

taken to the emergency room after injuring her leg in a fall; her healing has not gone well, and the

1

pain medication she was prescribed has caused “cognitive incapacity” and extreme discomfort.

2

Id. at 1. She attaches to her motion copies of her emergency care instructions and prescriptions.

3

Id. at 5-10.

4

Plaintiff’s request for additional time will be granted in part. Given the numerous

5

extensions plaintiff has already received, the court finds that an additional 15 days is sufficient.

6

No further extensions will be granted in this matter.

7

Accordingly, for good cause shown, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that plaintiff’s motion

8

for extension of time, ECF No. 46, is GRANTED in part, and plaintiff shall have 15 days from

9

the date of this order to file her objections.
