ORDER DISCHARGING ORDER TO SHOW
CAUSE AND GRANTING PLAINTIFF’S
FIRST MOTION TO EXTEND TIME TO
FILE AN OPPOSITION OR STATEMENT
OF NON-OPPOSITION TO DEFENDANTS’
MOTION FOR JUDGMENT ON THE
PLEADINGS
(Doc. 49. 50)

On January 16, 2018, Plaintiff filed a notice of change of address and motion to extend

18

time to file an opposition to Defendants’ motion for judgment on the pleadings. It is noted that

19

Plaintiff’s mailing address did not actually change since he is still housed at Salinas Valley State

20

Prison. However, Plaintiff’s right hand injury, which required two surgeries, convalescence, and

21

therapy, combined with his placement in short term restrictive housing (“STRAH”) (formerly

22

called the Administrative Segregation Unit (“ASU”)) has restricted his ability to research and

23

draft an opposition to Defendants’ motion. This amounts to good cause both to discharge the

24

January 11, 2018 order that issued for Plaintiff to show cause why the action should not be

25

dismissed based on his failure to file an opposition to Defendants’ motion and to grant Plaintiff’s

26

requested extension of time.
