March 10, 2016 Order to Show Cause (Dkt. Nos. 10, 11). The Court issued a minute order the 

same date discharging the Order to Show Cause and deeming Plaintiff’s motion as timely filed

file and prepare a response in this matter as she has been out of the office on pre-approved leave 

and has also missed work due to illness, and because of a very heavy workload, including several 

other district court cases. 

Defense counsel attempted to contact Plaintiff by telephone and left a message informing 

him of her intention to file this motion. 

Defense counsel apologizes to the Court for any inconvenience caused by this delay.
