Plaintiff,

ORDER DENYING REQUEST
TO CONTINUE HEARING

CARRINGTON REAL ESTATE

Defendants.

Plaintiff Edward Tidwell has filed a request to continue tomorrow’s hearing on two

18

motions to dismiss his complaint (Dkt. Nos. 44, 60) to September 7, 2017, “to allow the Parties

19

time to resolve this matter in its entirety” (Dkt. No. 73). Insofar as this submission argues the

20

merits of plaintiff’s case and requests “that the District Court order Defendants [sic] motions

21

denied” (id. at 5), it is improper and will not be considered. Otherwise, the mere fact that

22

“settlement discussions are in the making” (ibid.) is not reason to delay hearing or decision on

23

defendants’ motions. Plaintiff’s request to continue tomorrow’s hearing is DENIED.

24
25

IT IS SO ORDERED.
