extension of time to respond to plaintiff’s discovery requests. (ECF No. 34.) The responses are

24

discovery deadline is June 24, 2016. If plaintiff requires an extension of time to file a motion to

25

compel following receipt of defendants’ discovery responses, he shall file an appropriate motion.

26

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

27

1. Defendants’ motion for extension of time (ECF No. 34) is granted;
