Presently before the court is plaintiff’s motion for an extension of time to retain counsel

11

(ECF No. 34), filed on July 30, 2018. Defendant filed a response (ECF No. 35) on August 13,

12

2018. The court imposed a deadline of July 30, 2018 for plaintiff to retain new counsel, and for

13

that counsel to file appropriate notice with the court. (ECF No. 33.) Plaintiff now requests an

14

extension of that deadline to continue her search for new legal representation. (ECF No. 34.)

15

Defendants do not object to plaintiff’s request, but propose that the court limit the extension to an

16

additional 30 days. (ECF No. 35.) Given that defendants do not oppose plaintiff’s motion, the

17

court will grant plaintiff’s motion to extend the deadline. The deadline for plaintiff to retain new

18

counsel, and for that counsel to file notice with the court, is extended to September 4, 2018.
