Case No.: 1:12-cv-02044-SAB (PC)
ORDER DIRECTING DEFENDANTS TO FILE
A RESPONSE TO PLAINTIFF’S MOTION TO
EXTEND THE DISCOVERY DEADLINE
[ECF No. 34]

Plaintiff Anthony Johnson is appearing pro se and in forma pauperis in this civil rights action
pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983.
On February 9, 2015, Plaintiff filed a motion to extend the discovery deadline. (ECF No. 34.)

20

To date, Defendants have not filed an opposition or statement of non-opposition. Local Rule 230(l).

21

Defendants’ counsel was electronically served with the motion through the Court’s CM/ECF system.

22

Local Rule 135; Fed. R. Civ. P. 5.

23

On December 22, 2014, the Court granted Plaintiff’s motion to compel discovery, and granted

24

Defendants until January 16, 2015, to serve their responses to Plaintiff’s outstanding discovery

25

requests. (ECF No. 32.)

In his present motion, Plaintiff contends that Defendants have not submitted their responses to
his discovery requests. In order to adequately address Plaintiff’s pending motion to extend the

discovery deadline, the Court finds it necessary for Defendants to have a response to Plaintiff’s
