22

counsel of record, that Defendant’s time for responding to Plaintiff’s Motion for Summary

relevant facts. Defendant’s counsel is also responsible for an appellate brief for a Social Security

case in the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, a bankruptcy case before the

4

United States Bankruptcy Court for the Central District of California, and a representative

5

sanctions matter, in addition to at least 35 district court cases in a variety of stages.

6

Defendant’s counsel respectfully requests this additional time to expend the necessary
