The District Court has referred this 42 U.S.C. § 1983 civil rights action to United States

Plaintiff asks the Court for an additional thirty days to file a response to defendants’

21 motion for summary judgment (Dkt. 20). Defendants do not oppose the motion. Instead,
22 defendants ask the Court to give plaintiff forty-five additional days because defense counsel will
23 be out of state when the response would be due (Dkt. 21). Because the motion is unopposed, the
24 Court does not need to wait for the January 16, 2015 noting date to hear this motion.
