ORDER RE ADMINISTRATIVE
MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME
TO FILE OPPOSITION TO MOTIONS
TO DISMISS
Re: Dkt. No. 117

15

The court is in receipt of plaintiff-relator Steven Fallon’s administrative motion for

16

an extension of time to file his opposition to defendants’ pending motions to dismiss. See

17

Dkt. 117. The administrative motion purports to seek an extension from May 13, 2021 to

18

May 27, 2021.

19

As an initial matter, Fallon misstates the original due date for his opposition briefs,

20

which was actually May 4, 2021. The court also notes that Fallon’s motion does not

21

make a specific showing of good cause, instead relying on the boilerplate language that

22
23

28

he ”requires additional time to prepare and file his opposition memoranda . . . [d]ue to
both the volume and complexity of the issues raised.” Dkt. 117 at 2.
However, because defendants have not opposed the requested extension,
Fallon’s administrative motion for an extension of time to file his opposition to defendants’
motions to dismiss is GRANTED. Fallon’s opposition briefs shall be filed no later than
May 27, 2021, and defendants’ reply briefs shall be filed no later than June 3, 2021.
The current hearing scheduled for May 27, 2021 is VACATED. The court will

notify the parties if it intends to set a new hearing date.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
