UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

On August 8, 2016, the attorney for the plaintiff, Mr. Trueblood, filed an ex parte application 

seeking to continue the hearing on the motion for summary judgment. (Doc. 33) Mr. Trueblood 

attests that he suffered a concussion on August 7, 2016, after falling from his bike. Id. at 2.

Though the defendants object to the continuance, due to the lack of proof from a doctor 

related to Mr. Trueblood’s condition and because counsel has made travel arrangements, the Court 

will grant the continuance. As an officer of the Court, Mr. Trueblood, like all attorneys admitted 

to this Court, has an obligation to be forthright and the Court has no reason to doubt he has done 

so. Moreover, the injury could impair his performance in court and, as a result, impact his duty to 

his client. These interests are weightier than the not insubstantial inconvenience of the defendants.
