Plaintiff

Order Granting Motion to Extend Time

v.

Rohan, C/O, et al.,

Defendants

[ECF No. 132]

Plaintiff Jamal Hendrix moves for a 45–50-day extension of his July 21, 2017, deadline to

11

respond to the defendants’ supplemental brief on the issue of whether his claims are subject to

12

further tolling as suggested by the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. Hendrix does not explain why

13

he needs additional time (and, in fact, it appears he erroneously believes his deadline was July

14

10th, not July 21st), though the local rule for requesting additional time (LR IA 6-1(a)) requires

15

the motion to “state the reasons for the extension requested” so that the court can evaluate

16

whether good cause for the extension exists.

17

I deny Hendrix’s motion for a 45–50 day extension of time because he has not

18

demonstrated good cause for it. But since Hendrix is apparently confused about the deadline, I

19

will sua sponte grant a short extension, making his brief due August 4, 2017. If Hendrix believes

20

that he requires more time than that, he will need to file a new motion to extend this August 4,

21

2017, deadline, which must “state the reasons for the extension requested and must inform the

22

court of all previous extensions of the subject deadline the court granted.” LR IA 6-1(a).

23

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Hendrix’s motion to extend the time for

24

his supplemental brief regarding tolling [ECF No. 132] is DENIED; the court will nevertheless

25

extend the deadline briefly because it appears that Hendrix is confused about the actual

26

deadline. Hendrix has until August 4, 2017, to file his response brief regarding tolling.
