ORDER GRANTING PLAINTIFF’S MOTION
FOR EXTENSION OF TIME TO FILE
PRETRIAL STATEMENT, RESETTING
DEADLINES TO FILE PRETRIAL STATEMENTS
[ECF No. 47]

Plaintiff Marques Butler is appearing pro se and in forma pauperis in this civil rights action
pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983.
On January 20, 2016, Plaintiff filed a motion for an extension of time to file his pretrial
statement in accordance with the Court’s August 21, 2015, scheduling order. (ECF No. 47.)
This case is currently set for jury trial on May 3, 2016, before District Judge Drozd, and a

22

pretrial conference is scheduled for March 21, 2016. In addition, the case is set for a settlement

23

conference on February 22, 2016, before Magistrate Judge Grosjean.

Pursuant to the Court’s August 21, 2015 order, Plaintiff’s pretrial statement is currently due on
or before January 26, 2016.
The Court will grant Plaintiff one extension of time to file his pretrial statement; however,
Plaintiff is advised that he must prosecute this action in an efficient manner and the fact that he must

prepare for trial and settlement simultaneously does not present sufficient good cause to further extend

1.

Plaintiff shall file his pretrial statement on or before February 22, 2016; and

5

2.

Defendants shall file their pretrial statement on or before March 7, 2016.
