Case 2:17-cv-01433-JAD-CWH Document 6 Filed 07/06/17 Page 2 of 3

1

Plaintiff Haileslassie Godifay hereby moves the Court for an extension of

2

time by seven (7) days from July 6, 2017 to July 13, 2017, for Plaintiff to pay the

3

$350.00 filing fee, plus the $50.00 administrative fee. This is Plaintiff's second

4

request.

5

Plaintiff previously requested an extension of seven (7) days in order to

6

gather paperwork which would indicate that the $7,000.00 of reported income

7

came in the form of loans against a separate lawsuit. Plaintiff provided evidence of

8

the loan but was unable to provide information regarding his lawsuit due to

9

difficulty reaching his attorney in that case.

10

Plaintiff has informed Counsel that he will pay the filing fee and

11

administrative fee. Plaintiff informed Counsel that he will not have access to the

12

funds until after the close of business today, July 6, 2017, which is the current due

13

date. Plaintiff will pay the filing fee upon receipt.

14

Counsel sincerely apologizes to the Court for any inconvenience this request

15

may have caused.

16

DATE: July 6, 2017

Respectfully submitted,
