GANNON GIGUIERE, et al., [ECF Nos. 100, 106] Defendants. 19 20 Before the Court is Defendant Andrew Hackett’s Motion to File an Extension (ECF 21 No. 100), which Plaintiff Securities and Exchange Commission does not oppose (see ECF 22 No. 106). Defendant Hackett, proceeding pro se, requests that the Court “allow an 23 extension on the discovery due on Nov[ember] 7th[, 2022].” (ECF No. 100 at 1.) 24 The Court notes no schedule has been issued and no deadline for the completion of 25 discovery has been set yet. However, the Court construes the instant motion as a motion 26 to extend the deadline for submitting an Early Neutral Evaluation (“ENE”) statement as 27 required by the Court’s Notice and Order Setting Early Neutral Evaluation and Case 28 Management Conferences (ECF No. 97).

Gamble, 429 U.S. 97, 106 (1976) 1 18-cv-01530-WQH-JLB Case 3:18-cv-01530-WQH-JLB Document 109 Filed 11/21/22 PageID.663 Page 2 of 2 1 (“[A] handwritten pro se document is to be liberally construed.”); Fed.
