Defendant(s).

Presently before the court is pro se plaintiff Curtis Downing’s second motion to extend

14

time to submit a reply in support of his motion for relief from judgment. (ECF No. 82). Defendants

have submitted a notice of non-opposition to plaintiff’s motion. (ECF No. 83). Plaintiff indicates
that he has been unable to conduct computer research because of logistical difficulties with the
Southern Desert Correctional Center’s law library, although he has submitted requests for access
and “narrowed down the direction of his needed research.” (ECF No. 82 at 4). As a result, this
court finds that plaintiff has demonstrated excusable neglect. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 6(b)(1)(B).
