Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis in this civil
rights action brought pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. The action proceeds against
Defendant Chen on Plaintiff’s Eighth Amendment inadequate medical care claim. (ECF
No. 22.)
Defendant seeks an extension of time to February 19, 2015 to file his pretrial
statement on the grounds that Plaintiff received an extension of time and defense
counsel has other deadlines in other cases. (ECF No. 57.) Although the details of
defense counsel’s deadlines were not provided to the Court, the Court will assume that
such deadlines provide good cause for a limited extension of time. At the same time,
however, the Court requires adequate time to prepare for the February 26, 2015
telephonic trial confirmation hearing, and is unwilling to postpone the hearing because

defense counsel is unable to timely prepare a pretrial statement due to vague and

unspecified deadlines in other cases.

Accordingly, it is HEREBY ORDERED that Defendant’s request for extension of

4

time (ECF No. 57) is GRANTED IN PART. Defendant’s time to file a pretrial statement is

hereby extended to February 16, 2015.
