The following excerpt is from Dawn v. Richmond, 861 F.2d 268 (9th Cir. 1988):
5 The Dawns contend that the district court's failure to extend the hearing date and to read their amended complaint indicates that the district court was prejudiced. This contention is not supported by the record. See Hansen v. Commissioner, 820 F.2d 1464, 1467 (9th Cir.1987) (clear and precise showings of prejudice must be made because the trial judge has wide discretion).
