ORDER
DALE A. DROZD, Magistrate Judge.
Plaintiff Mark Bradbury is proceeding pro se in this action. This matter was referred to the undersigned in accordance with Local Rule 302(c)(21) and 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1).
On June 12, 2015, defendants noticed a motion to dismiss for hearing before the undersigned on July 24, 2015. (Dkt. No. 9.) On July 13, 2015, plaintiff filed a motion seeking a continuance of the July 24, 2015 hearing date. (Dkt. No. 11.) On July 15, 2015, defendants filed an opposition to plaintiff's request for a continuance. (Dkt. No. 12.)
In his motion, plaintiff states that he requires "an additional 45 days to recover from surgery." (Dkt. No. 11 at 1.) Attached to plaintiff's motion is a letter from Dr. Thomas J. Blumenfeld, stating that plaintiff "underwent in-patient surgery on 6/15/2015, " and "has been confined to home with visiting nurse and in-home physical therapy." (Id. at 3.)
Having reviewed plaintiff's motion and defendants' opposition, the undersigned finds good cause to grant plaintiff's motion for a continuance.
Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:
1. Plaintiff's July 13, 2015 motion to continue (Dkt. No. 11) is granted.
2. The July 24, 2015 hearing of defendants' motion to dismiss is continued for hearing to Friday, August 28, 2015, at 10:00 a.m., at the United States District Court, 501 I Street, Sacramento, California, in Courtroom No. 27, before the undersigned. Any party may appear at the August 28, 2015 hearing telephonically if the party pre-arranges such appearance by contacting Pete Buzo, the courtroom deputy of the undersigned magistrate judge, at (916) 930-4128, no later than 48 hours before the hearing; a land line telephone number must be provided.
