PERCY LAVAE BACON,

Plaintiff,

OSWALD REYES, et al.,

Defendants.

ORDER

15

Presently before the court is defendants’ motion to extend time to file a response. (Doc. # 99).

16
17

Magistrate Judge Ferenbach issued a report and recommendation that addressed approximately

18

ten of the motions filed in this case. (Doc. # 87). The plaintiff filed objections to the report and

19

recommendation. (Doc. # 90).

20

Defendants filed the instant motion after the deadline date for filing a response to the objections

21

had passed. Defendants represent that they incorrectly calendared the response deadline. Defendants

22

now seek leave to file their response to plaintiff’s objections due to excusable neglect. Defendants have

23

attached their response as exhibit B.

24

Due to excusable neglect and the court’s preference to decide issues on the merits, the court

25

finds good cause to grant the motion.
