Case No. 2:16-cv-01837-JAD-CWH

ORDER

10

Presently before the Court is Plaintiff’s motion for extension of scheduling order (ECF No.

11

150), filed on April 24, 2017. Pro se Defendant Thomas Robert Hughes filed a response (ECF No.

12

151) on May 7, 2017. The other named Defendants in this case did not file a response. Plaintiff did

13

not file a reply.

14

Plaintiff requests an extension of 120 days to deadlines established in the Court’s prior

15

scheduling order (ECF No. 150), citing the late start of discovery due to a number of preliminary

16

motions filed. In his response, Defendant Hughes does not object to the extension requested by

17

Plaintiff. As the other Defendants did not file a response, the extension is unopposed. Good cause

18

being shown, the Court will grant the motion.

19

In his response, Defendant Hughes also attaches a letter to Plaintiff in which he proposes

20

certain other scheduling changes, and requests that these suggestions be incorporated into his

21

response. However, it is not this Court’s practice to consider requests that are not made in a motion

22

or other brief addressed to the Court.
