response to the motion beyond the due date.

ORDER DENYING PLAINTIFF’S

APPLICATION FOR LEAVE TO

FILE A RESPONSE TO

DEFENDANTS’ MOTION TO

DISMISS [Doc. No. ]

On May 23, 2008, Plaintiff filed an application for leave to file a response to

Defendants California Department of Education and Jack O’Connell’s motion to dismiss.1

Defendants originally filed their motion to dismiss on October 11, 2007 and filed an

amended motion on October 12, 2007. The motion was set for hearing on

December 3, 2007. As such, Plaintiff was required to file an opposition on or before

November 19, 2007. Plaintiff failed to file a timely response to the motion and took no

action to seek leave to file a response beyond the due date until May 2008.

Plaintiff contends there is good cause for leave to file a response because his parent

who is assisting him with his lawsuit was in an accident in January 2008 and his sister

required 24 hour care for suicide watch. The Court finds Plaintiff fails to demonstrate the

incidents alleged prevented him from filing a timely response in November 2007.

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED Plaintiff’s request for leave to file an
