ORDER DIRECTING PARTIES TO
FILE STATUS REPORT
REGARDING DISCOVERY
TWENTY-ONE DAY DEADLINE

17
18

Plaintiff Curtis Renee Jackson (“Plaintiff”) is a prisoner in the custody of the California

19

Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (“CDCR”). Plaintiff is proceeding pro se in this

20

civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983.

21

On May 30, 2012, the Court found a cognizable Eighth Amendment claim against

22

Defendant Mendez for excessive force and against Defendants Daley, Samonte, Nichols, Valdez,

23

and Gonzales for failure to intervene. Defendants Gonzales, Mendez and Nichols answered

24

Plaintiff’s second amended complaint on November 16, 2012, and the Court issued a Discovery

25

and Scheduling Order on November 27, 2012.

26

On January 15, 2014, a summons was returned unexecuted for Defendant Samonte.

27

Following receipt of information from Plaintiff, the Court issued a second order directing the

28

United States Marshal to serve Defendant Samonte on March 6, 2014.
1

1

On March 10, 2014, Defendants Daley and Valdez filed an answer to the second

2

amended complaint. Following a request for status and a motion by Plaintiff, the Court extended

3

the discovery deadline to May 12, 2014, solely to permit Plaintiff to file a motion for a third-

4

party subpoena. The Court also extended the dispositive motion deadline to July 24, 2014.

5

After expiration of the discovery deadline, Defendant Samonte filed an answer to the

6

second amended complaint on May 29, 2014. Although Defendant Samonte has recently

7

appeared in this action, Defendant Samonte is part of the same incident at issue in this action.

8

Accordingly, the parties are DIRECTED to file a status report within twenty-one (21) days. The

9

status report shall address what, if any, additional discovery is necessary related to the claim

10

against Defendant Samonte.
