24 Office, undersigned has a larger workload than usual and is working as efficiently and

25 quickly as possible to file the briefs timely. This Motion is not submitted solely for the

26 purpose of delay or for any other improper purpose.

10           The Court finds that an extension of time is warranted due to the

11   government’s workload constraints and staffing issues; however, this is not a

12   basis for good cause for such a request in the future.

13           It is ordered that the government’s motion to extend time to file the pre-

14   sentencing briefs for forfeiture [ECF No. 338] is GRANTED, therefore the

15   deadline is extended to June 13, 2025.
