13

Before the court is Plaintiff’s Motion for Extension of Scheduling Order (Dkt. #20), and

14

Defendant’s Motion to Withdraw Response to Motion (Dkt. #24). The court has reviewed the Motions,

15

and Defendant’s Response (Dkt. #23).

16

Plaintiff states he is in the process of seeking the advice of counsel, and is also awaiting

17

extradition to Oregon. For these reasons Plaintiff is asking for a 180-day extension of the Discovery

18

Plan and Scheduling Order. Defendant initially opposed the requested extension in their Response

19

(#23) stating numerous reasons why the extension should not be granted. However, defense counsel

20

learned that Plaintiff was transferred to Oregon the morning the counsel arrived to take his deposition,

21

and now agrees that more time is needed to complete discovery. Having reviewed and considered the

22

matters,

23

IT IS ORDERED that:

24

1.

Plaintiff’s Motion for Extension of the Scheduling Order is GRANTED, and the
