UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

16 pauperis in this civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. This action is proceeding on 17 Plaintiff's complaint, filed April 16, 2008, against Defendant Derral Adams for violation of the 18 Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. 19 On October 16, 2009, Plaintiff filed a motion for stay of the proceedings and revisal of

20 the scheduling order. Plaintiff has been in and out of administrative segregation and had not 21 received all his property, including documents pertaining to this case. On November 24, 2009, 22 Plaintiff filed a motion for extension of time to conduct discovery citing the same issues. 23 The Court does not find that the discovery and scheduling order needs to be modified at

24 this time. The discovery cutoff deadline is February 17, 2010. Plaintiff thus has two months to 25 complete his discovery. If at a later time, Plaintiff needs more time to complete discovery, 26 Plaintiff may file another motion for extension of time which demonstrates good cause. 27 28 1
