UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

WILLIAM LEE JOHNSON, et al.,

Plaintiffs,

v.

RUSH ENTERPRISES, INC., et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 1:19-cv-00105-LJO-SAB

ORDER GRANTING EXTENSION OF TIME TO 

FILE SUPPLEMENTAL BRIEFING FOR

PETITION FOR APPOINTMENT OF 

GUARDIAN AD LITEM AND DIRECTING 

MEDICAL EVIDENCE TO BE FILED UNDER 

SEAL

(ECF No. 7) 

On January 24, 2019, a complaint in this action was filed along with a petition for 

appointment of guardian ad litem for William Lee Johnson (“Plaintiff” or “Mr. Johnson”), an 

incompetent adult. (ECF Nos. 1, 3.) On January 26, 2019, the Court issued an order directing 

Jerrad Johnson (“Petitioner”), to submit supplemental briefing for the petition for appointment of 

guardian ad litem within fourteen days of the issuance of the order. (ECF No. 6.) On February 7, 

2019, Plaintiff filed a request for additional time to submit such supplemental briefing. (ECF No. 

7.) The request demonstrates that Plaintiff’s counsel and proposed guardian ad litem are making 

a good faith effort to obtain the necessary medical records, declarations, and letters in support of 

the petition. (ECF No. 7.) The Court finds good cause to grant Plaintiff’s request for an 

additional two weeks to file the supplemental materials.
