9 Before the Court is Plaintiff Percey Lee Ric’e’s (“Ric’e”) motion for an extension of | time to file a response to Defendants’ motion for summary judgment. (ECF No. 40.) Ric’e’s response is due on April 7, 2025. He requests an extension to May 21, 2025. (/d. at 2.)

12| Ric’e asserts that an extension of time is necessary because “Defendants have made 13} statements that are fabrications that the plaintiff can show with the records are indeed | untruthful.” (/d.)

15 Pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 6(b)(1)(A) the court may, for good | cause, extend time if a request is made before the original time expires.
