IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA; and

NINE NAMED FEDERAL EMPLOYEES,

Plaintiffs, CIV. NO. S- 04-1263 FCD GGH PS

vs.

WILLIAM J. BIGGS and BETTY BIGGS,

Defendants. ORDER

 /

Defendant William Biggs has filed a request for an extension of sixty days in

which to file an opposition to the government’s motion for summary judgment. The government

filed its motion on October 27, 2006, noticing it for hearing on January 25, 2007, thereby initially

giving Biggs extra time to respond to its motion. Although the government does not oppose

Biggs’ request for extra time, it acknowledges that a grant of the request will necessitate

modification of the scheduling order. The scheduling order has previously been modified in this

2004 case. Moreover, Biggs’ reason for needing more time, that he must travel sixty miles each

way to a law library to prepare an opposition, does not explain why he could not travel to the law

library between October 27, 2006, and January 11, 2007, the current filing deadline for

opposition. Therefore, Biggs’ request will be granted only insofar as it allows him time to

receive this denial and file his opposition.
