As a result of Plaintiff’s request for more time to search for legal representation, the parties

18 corresponding reply deadlines for Defendant’s Motion for Judgment on the Pleadings by 60 days

In addition, the parties ask the Court to set a new trial date of no earlier than December 16,

9 2024, with all trial related deadlines set corresponding to the new trial date. The parties have set
10 forth their current scheduling conflicts below:
11 Plaintiff:
12 Defendant: December 26, 2024–January 3, 2025; January 14–20, 2025; February 24–March 11,
13 2025; April 14–18, 20205; May 12–15, 2025.
14

A court may modify a schedule for good cause. Fed. R. Civ. P. 16(b)(4). Continuing pretrial

15 and trial dates is within the discretion of the trial judge. King v. State of California, 784 F.2d 910,
16 912 (9th Cir. 1986). Good cause exists for extending the specific deadlines noted above, as Plaintiff
17 is requesting additional time to respond to Defendant’s Motion in order to seek counsel. Defendant
18 joins in the request in order to provide Plaintiff sufficient time.
