ORDER GRANTING PLAINTIFF’S
MOTION FOR EXTENSION

NO. C11-5509 BHS/KLS

KELLY CUNNINGHAM,
Defendant.

10

Before the Court is Plaintiff’s motion for extension of time. ECF No. 170. Although

11

Plaintiff failed to identify which motions his requested extension is meant to apply, it appears

12

that he seeks an extension to file a reply to Defendant’s responses to Plaintiff’s motions for

13

summary judgment (ECF Nos. 63, 85, 94) and Plaintiff’s motions for summary judgment (ECF

14

Nos. 101 and 134). Thus, Plaintiff seeks additional time to basically file a reply to his own

15
motions. In addition, Plaintiff’s reasons for the extension are unclear and do not relate to the
16
17

particular case before the Court. However, in an abundance of caution, the motion shall be

18

granted but only for a short time. As this case was stayed pending resolution by the Chief

19

Judge of Plaintiff’s second motion to recuse, Plaintiff has had the benefit of that additional

20

time as well as the time allowed by this Order.

21

Accordingly, it is ORDERED:

22

(1)

Plaintiff’s motion for extension of time (ECF No. 170) is GRANTED;

23

Plaintiff’s time to file a reply to Defendant’s responses to Plaintiff’s motions for summary
judgment (ECF Nos. 63, 85, 94) and motions for partial summary judgment (ECF Nos. 101
and 134), shall be due on or before May 4, 2012. Plaintiff’s time to file a response to

ORDER - 1

1

Defendants’ cross-motions for summary judgment (ECF Nos. 148, 156, and 161) shall be due

2

on or before May 14, 2012. Defendant may file a reply on May 18, 2012.

The Clerk is directed to re-note the foregoing motions (ECF Nos. 63, 85, 94,
