On June 16, 2010, Plaintiff, a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis, filed
21
this civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Doc. 1. On October 22, 2010, the Court found
22
a cognizable Eighth Amendment claim for excessive force. Doc. 9. On July 26, 2011, the Court
23
issued a discovery and scheduling order, setting a deadline to amend pleadings of January 26, 2012,
24
a discovery deadline of March 26, 2012, and a dispositive motion deadline of June 4, 2012. Doc. 25.
25
On March 22, 2012, Plaintiff filed a motion for “renewal of scheduling order” and to postpone his
26
deposition noticed for March 22, 2012. Doc. 34. On April 17, 2012, the Court denied his motion to
27
postpone his deposition as moot. Doc. 35. On April 30, 2012, Plaintiff filed an “objection” to the
28
order denying the motion to postpone his deposition, explaining that he intended to file a motion to
Page 1 of 2
1
extend the discovery deadline and amend his complaint.1 Doc. 36. In Plaintiff’s “objection,” he
2
requests an extension of time to complete discovery because he has been transferred five times since
3
August 2011. Id. On June 4, 2012, Defendant filed a motion to extend the dispositive motion
4
deadline seven days. Doc. 37.

Defendant did not respond to Plaintiff’s motion for renewal of scheduling order dated March
22, 2012, or Plaintiff’s objection dated April 30, 2012.

Plaintiff’s motion to extend discovery deadline is GRANTED. The revised discovery
deadline is August 15, 2012.
9
Defendant’s motion to extend dispositive motion deadline is GRANTED. Since the Court
10
is also extending the discovery deadline, the Court finds it necessary to extend the dispositive motion
11
deadline past Defendant’s requested date. The revised dispositive motion deadline is September 1,
12
2012.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
