Case No. 2:12-cr-01474-JCM-CWH
ORDER

This matter is before the Court on Plaintiffs’ Second Motion to Extend Time to Respond

16

(#27), filed on October 23, 2013, and Defendants’ Response (#28), filed October 23, 2013.

17

Plaintiffs request an open-ended extension of time to respond to the pending motion to dismiss

18

(#21), which was filed on September 4, 2013. The Court previously granted Plaintiff an extension

19

of time to file its response by October 21, 2013. As a result, Plaintiffs have had approximately 45

20

days to respond to the motion to dismiss. Plaintiffs now seek an open-ended extension so they can

21

continue their attempt to retain counsel. The undersigned has reviewed the briefing and finds that a

22

limited 14-day extension is appropriate. No further extensions will be granted absent compliance

23

with Fed. R. Civ. P. 6(b). The failure to file a response will result in a recommendation that the

24

motion to dismiss (#21) be granted. See Local Rule 7-2(d) (“The failure of an opposing party to

25

file points and authorities in response to any motion shall constitute a consent to the granting of the

26

motion.”).

27

Based on the foregoing and good cause appearing therefore,

28

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Plaintiffs’ Second Motion to Extend Time to Respond
(#27) is granted in part. Plaintiffs are granted a limited extension of time to respond to Motion to

1

Dismiss (#21), up to and including Thursday, November 7, 2013. Failure to file a response will

2

result in a recommendation that the motion to dismiss be granted.

Dated: October 25, 2013.
