Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding pro se with a civil rights action pursuant to

18

42 U.S.C. § 1983. On August 13, 2024, this action was stayed for 120 days pending referral to

19

the Post-Screening ADR project. (ECF No. 16.) On November 22, 2024, defendant filed a first

20

motion for extension of time to file a responsive pleading. (ECF No. 19.) Defendant asks that the

21

deadline be extended to thirty days after the January 23, 2025 settlement conference currently set

22

in this matter.

23

Good cause appearing, defendant’s motion for extension of time is granted. The current

24

stay of this action expires on December 11, 2024, prior to the January 23, 2025 settlement

25

conference. Thus, the stay of this action is extended through January 23, 2025. Thirty days after

26

January 24, 2025, falls on a Sunday; therefore, if the case does not settle, defendant shall file a

27

responsive pleading on or before February 24, 2025, the following Monday. Fed. R. Civ. P.
