Case No.: 1:12-cv-02068-SAB (PC)
ORDER GRANTING DEFENDANTS’ SECOND
MOTION TO MODIFY THE SCHEDULING
ORDER AND EXTENDING THE DISPOSITIVE
MOTION DEADLINE TO SEPTEMBER 3, 2015
[ECF No. 51]

Plaintiff Alberto Villescas is appearing pro se and in forma pauperis in this civil rights action

18

pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(c), Plaintiff consented to the jurisdiction of

19

the United States Magistrate Judge. Local Rule 302.

20
21

On August 4, 2015, Defendants filed a second motion to modify the scheduling order and
extend the dispositive motion deadline.

22

Defense counsel submits that despite his best efforts, he has been unable to complete

23

preparation of Defendants’ motion for summary judgment by the August 4, 2015, deadline. Defense

24

outlines several other pending cases and deadlines which have impacted his ability to prepare and file

25

a motion for summary judgment in this case. Counsel requests until September 3, 2015, to prepare

26

and file their motion. Because Defendants have shown good cause to warrant an extension of the

27

dispositive motion deadline, the Court need not await the deadline for Plaintiff to file a response.

28
1

Based on a showing of good cause, it is HEREBY ORDERED that Defendants are granted to

1
2

and including September 3, 2015, to file their motion for summary judgment.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
