Plaintiff filed a motion for extension of time to file an opposition to defendants Krouse

counsel or settle this case. ECF No. 46. The request for an extension of time will be granted.

24

that he has located an attorney interested in taking on his case or that defendants have expressed

25

their interest in conducting settlement discussions prior to adjudication of their summary

26

judgment motion.

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:
