ORDER

15

Presently before the court is plaintiff Union Pacific Railroad Company’s second renewed

16

motion for summary judgment. (Doc. #106). Defendant Guard Dog Heaven has not yet responded.

17

The dispositive motion deadline in this case was originally set for April 30, 2012. On that

18

date, plaintiff filed a motion seeking an extension of the deadline. (Doc. #102). On May 8, 2012,

19

the magistrate judge entered an order granting the extension. (Doc. #103). Subsequently, defendant

20

filed an objection to the order and motion, arguing that the deadline should not have been extended.

21

(Doc. #104).

22

On May 25, 2012, the undersigned referred defendant’s objection to the magistrate judge to

23

determine if, in light of defendant’s objection, the order extending the motion deadline should be

24

vacated. (Doc. #105). The objection is still pending.
