Perez ("plaintiff") is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis in this civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. On February 26, 2010, Plaintiff filed a motion for postponement of the scheduling order deadlines based on his being transferred to Kern Valley State Prison, on December 24, 2009, and not having received his personal property as of the date the motion was filed. (Doc. 38.) Defendants did not file an opposition. Plaintiff requests that all remaining deadlines be extended five to six months. Plaintiff has previously received a thirty day extension of the discovery deadline, and does not state why he feels an extension of five to six months length is required. The Court understands that inmates have difficulty obtaining their personal property after being transferred. However, since approximately two and a half months have already passed since Plaintiff's transfer, it does not appear that a five or six month extension is called for at this time. Thus, the Court finds that Plaintiff has shown good cause for an few month extension of the discovery deadline and dispositive motion deadline, but not for a five to six month extension. Fed. R. Civ. P. 16(b). 1 v. KEN CLARK, et al., Defendants.
