UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

ROBERT TUNSTALL,

Plaintiff,

v.

MIKE KNOWLES, et al.,

Defendants.

No. 2:08-cv-3176 WBS KJN P

ORDER

On December 2, 2014, plaintiff’s appointed counsel made an ex parte telephonic request 

to the court for an extension of time to comply with the December 2, 2014 deadlines set forth in 

the court’s November 19, 2014 order (see ECF No. 203). Plaintiff’s counsel, Ms. Joann Leigh 

Pheasant, a sole practitioner, informed the court that she recently fractured her wrist. Despite 

attempting to prepare an affidavit in support of her request for extended time, Ms. Pheasant states 

that she is unable to comply with the court’s order until her cast is removed in January 2015. Ms. 

Pheasant stated that she attempted unsuccessfully to obtain a stipulated request for extension of 

time from defense counsel. The court discerns no prejudice to defendants in granting plaintiff’s 

request.
