Case No.: 1:13-cv-01726-DAD-BAM (PC)
ORDER GRANTING DEFENDANTS’ SECOND
MOTION TO MODIFY THE DISCOVERY AND
SCHEDULING ORDER
(Doc. No. 80)
Dispositive Motions Due: September 11, 2018

Plaintiff Danny Caesar is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis in this civil
rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983.
On August 2, 2018, the Court granted Defendants’ motion to modify the scheduling order, and

16

extended the dispositive motion deadline until September 4, 2018. (Doc. No. 74.) Currently before

17

the Court is Defendants’ second motion to modify the scheduling order, seeking a 7-day extension.

18

(Doc. No. 80.) Defense counsel declares in support that a brief extension is needed to finish preparing

19

the motion and the evidence in support, as some delay was experienced due to a medical emergency

20

and other deadlines.

21

The Court finds that Plaintiff will not be prejudiced by the brief extension requested. Further,

22

good cause and diligence being shown, Defendants’ motion is HEREBY GRANTED. The dispositive

23

motion deadline is extended until September 11, 2018.
