Plaintiff Emiliano Lopez (“Plaintiff”) is state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma

pauperis in this civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Plaintiff filed this action on

On November 13, 2013, the Court issued Findings and Recommendations that this action
be dismissed for Plaintiff’s failure to state a claim for which relief may be granted. On
December 16, 2013, the Court granted Plaintiff’s request for a thirty-day extension of time

23

within which to file objections.

On January 9, 2014, Plaintiff filed a Request to Stay the Proceedings. He explains that a
stay is necessary because the computers have been removed from the prison law library in
anticipation of changing the legal research program.

Plaintiff’s request is DENIED. The Court will not grant an indefinite stay simply
because Plaintiff cannot perform computerized legal research. Indeed, the Findings and
Recommendations set forth the legal standards for the claims at issue.

4

The Court will GRANT Plaintiff a second thirty day extension of time to file objections.

5

Plaintiff shall file his objections within thirty days of the date of service of this order.
6

Further extensions will be granted only upon a showing of good cause.
