This matter comes before the court on pro se plaintiff’s motion and amended
motion to extend deadlines. Dkt. # 22, 27. Plaintiff requests a four-month case schedule
extension to allow sufficient time to acquire new counsel. On October 10, 2013, former
counsel for plaintiff filed a motion to withdraw as attorney. Dkt. # 16. Plaintiff indicates
that approximately one week later, she began contacting attorneys in an attempt to find a
replacement. Dkt. # 26. On November 25, 2013, the court granted plaintiff’s motion to
allow her counsel to withdraw as attorney. Dkt. # 21. Plaintiff indicates that she met
with a new attorney on January 3, 2014, and hopes to have a new attorney soon. Id.
Under these circumstances, the court finds that pro se plaintiff has demonstrated
good cause for an extension in the case schedule. The court will grant a three-month
extension of all dates that have not already expired. The Clerk is DIRECTED to enter an
amended case schedule with a trial date of October 27, 2014.
