Presently before the court is pro se plaintiff Jonathon Soffer’s third motion requesting an

15

extension of time (doc. # 19) to respond to defendant Las Vegas Metropolitan Police

16

Department’s motion to dismiss (doc. # 5). Plaintiff requests a 15-day extension to respond to

17

defendant’s motion.

18

The court has granted plaintiff two 45-day extensions and a 30-day extension already.

19

First, the court granted plaintiff’s request for a 45-day extension on August 15, 2014. (Doc. #

20

10). Second, the court granted sua sponte an additional 45-day extension for plaintiff to respond

21

on October 9, 2014. Third, the court granted plaintiff a 30-day extension on December 1, 2014.

22

Plaintiff’s response was, most recently, due on December 21, 2014. Plaintiff represents

23

that he is in poor health and that his nephew, an attorney, is preparing to assist plaintiff with his

24

case. Plaintiff had asked this court previously for a 45-day extension and the court granted him

25

only 30-days. Plaintiff states that, if the court grants him the additional 15 days to file, he will

26

not ask for another extension.
