Pro se Plaintiff Steven Miller brings this case alleging failure to protect and deliberate
12
indifference under the Eighth and Fourteenth Amendments. On September 7, 2017, Plaintiff filed the
13

instant motion for leave to depose Defendant Margaret Mims. CM/ECF Document No. (“Doc.”) 72. On

14
September 8, 2017, Defendants filed an opposition by and through counsel. Doc. 73. Plaintiff did not
15
file a reply within the seven days provided under Local Rule 230(l) and the motion is deemed submitted.
16
Plaintiff filed a similar motion for post-discovery deposition, which the Court denied as untimely and
17
which is incorporated here by reference. Doc. 71. The discovery deadline in this case has passed and
18

Plaintiff has not shown any good cause to reopen discovery. Plaintiff’s motion is therefore DENIED.
