Case No. 2:14-cv-00497-APG-CWH
ORDER

14

Before the Court is Plaintiff’s motion to extend the discovery deadlines (doc. # 18), filed

15

April 20, 2015, and Defendants’ response (doc. # 19), filed May 6, 2015. Plaintiff did not file a reply.

16

In his motion, Plaintiff asks the Court to extend the discovery deadlines by ninety (90) days

17

due to mental health issues that have prevented him from completing discovery as originally

18

scheduled. Defendants, in response, do not oppose extending the discovery deadlines in light of

19

Plaintiff’s health issues.
