CASE NO. C12-1639-MAT

ORDER GRANTING LIMITED
EXTENSION OF TIME OF
REMAINING BRIEFING SCHEDULE

Plaintiff filed the parties’ first unopposed motion for extension of time (Dkt. 15),

15 requesting a 60-day extension of the due date in which to file his responsive brief. Plaintiff
16 offers no specific reason for such an unusually long extension.

Having considered the

17 stipulation, and the entire docket in the case, the Court hereby GRANTS an extension of the
18 briefing schedule, but declines to use the dates requested by the parties. A 60-day extension
19 would adversely affect the Court’s ability to decide the case in a timely manner. The Court
20 therefore grants a 30-day extension from today, with the new deadlines as follows:
