The following MINUTE ORDER is made by direction of the Court, the Honorable
Ricardo S. Martinez, Chief United States District Judge:
On January 8, 2018, Plaintiff moved this Court for an extension of time to propound her

16

own discovery requests, including a potential deposition notice. Dkt. #45. Plaintiff recognized
17
18

that the discovery deadline in this matter is approaching on March 12, 2018, and explained that

19

she has responded to Defendants’ discovery requests to date. Id. However, she seeks a 45-day

20

extension of the discovery deadline to propound her own discovery, due to the fact that she

21

recently suffered a stroke. Id. She explains the result of her stroke is that everything is taking

22
23

her much longer to accomplish. Id. Defendants do not oppose a 45-day extension of time. Dkt.

24

#46. Accordingly, the Court finds good cause for an extension of time, and GRANTS Plaintiff’s

25

motion (Dkt. #45). Plaintiff shall have until April 16, 2018, to complete any of her own

26

discovery directed at Defendants. The Court notes that the discovery deadline is being

27

extended for this limited purpose only.
