Dkt. 41. The motion is unopposed. See generally Dkt. The Court GRANTS the motion as
15
described below.
16
Defendants moved the Court for summary judgment on June 21, 2017; the motion was
17
properly noted for July 14, 2017. Dkt. 37. On June 29, 2017, plaintiff sought a 90 day extension
18
because 1) he lost and/or misplaced property pertaining to this case in transport between the
19
Washington State Penitentiary in Walla Walla and Whatcom County Jail on June 7, 2017; and 2)
20
he has encountered difficulties accessing the law library due to conflicting mental health and
21
other appointments required before his impending release from custody. Dkt. 41. The Court
22
construes plaintiff’s motion as a motion to continue all pending deadlines. At the time plaintiff
23
filed his motion on June 29, 2017, the only pending deadlines were those arising from
