action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. On October 18, 2018 defendants filed a motion for

summary judgment. (ECF No. 53.) After plaintiff failed to timely file an opposition to the

20

summary judgment motion the court directed plaintiff to show cause in writing why this action

thirty-day extension of time to file an opposition to the summary judgment motion. (ECF Nos.

additional time to file an opposition.
Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that within fourteen days of the date of service

of this order plaintiff shall either file an opposition to the summary judgment motion or show
