Plaintiff Troas V. Barnett (“Plaintiff”) is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma

16

pauperis in this civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Plaintiff filed the complaint

17

commencing this action on August 9, 2005. (Doc. 1). On July 20, 2010, the Court issued a

18

Discovery/Scheduling Order establishing a deadline of March 20, 2011 for completion of discovery,

19

including motions to compel, and a deadline of May 31, 2011 for filing pretrial dispositive motions.

20

(Docs. 59, 77). On May 20, 2011, Plaintiff filed a motion requesting to set pretrial according to

21

Local Rule 280. (Doc. 98). On July 22, 2011, Plaintiff filed a motion requesting extension of

22

discovery. (Doc. 113). On October 24, 2011, the Court granted Plaintiff’s motion to extend

23

discovery and extended the discovery cut-off date to March 15, 2012. As Plaintiff requested for

24

discovery to be extended and since discovery has been extended, Plaintiff’s motion indicating

25

readiness for trial is premature.
