IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

MARK S. MUSZYNSKI, 

Plaintiff, No. CIV S-04-0082 DFL GGH P

vs.

D.L. RUNNELS, et al.,

Defendants. ORDER

 /

Defendants’ counsel has filed a request for extension of time to file objections to

the August 23, 2006, Findings and Recommendations, recommending denial of defendants’

motion to dismiss. In the first place, defendants’ counsel has not complied with E.D. Local Rule

5-137(b) in making the request; although counsel filed a proposed order in .pdf format, no

proposed order in wordprocessing format was emailed as required. In the second place, no

showing of good cause has been made. Counsel states: “Counsel is scheduled to out [sic] of the

office from September 11, 2006, through September 15, 2006. Therefore, it will not be possible

for Defendants’ objections to be completed and filed within the time allowed by the Court.” No

declaration is attached in an effort to make a showing of good cause. No explanation is

forthcoming as to why objections could not have been filed prior to the time for which counsel is

to be out of the office (for an unexplained reason).
