UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE 

COMMISSION, 

Plaintiff,

v. 

GANNON GIGUIERE, et al., 

Defendants.

Case No.: 18-cv-01530-WQH-JLB

ORDER GRANTING MOTION TO 

FILE AN EXTENSION RE: 

DISCOVERY

[ECF Nos. 100, 106]

Before the Court is Defendant Andrew Hackett’s Motion to File an Extension (ECF 

No. 100), which Plaintiff Securities and Exchange Commission does not oppose (see ECF 

No. 106). Defendant Hackett, proceeding pro se, requests that the Court “allow an 

extension on the discovery due on Nov[ember] 7th[, 2022].” (ECF No. 100 at 1.) 

The Court notes no schedule has been issued and no deadline for the completion of 

discovery has been set yet. However, the Court construes the instant motion as a motion 

to extend the deadline for submitting an Early Neutral Evaluation (“ENE”) statement as 

required by the Court’s Notice and Order Setting Early Neutral Evaluation and Case 

Management Conferences (ECF No. 97). See Estelle v. Gamble, 429 U.S. 97, 106 (1976)

(“[A] handwritten pro se document is to be liberally construed.”); Fed. R. Civ. P. 8(e) 

(“Pleadings must be construed so as to do justice.”). 

Good cause appearing, the Court hereby GRANTS Defendant Hackett’s motion as 

construed. The deadline for Defendant Hackett to lodge an ENE statement with Judge 

Burkhardt’s chambers is extended to November 30, 2022. All deadlines and requirements 

regarding the ENE Conference not otherwise modified by this Order remain in effect. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: November 21, 2022
