ORDER GRANTING DEFENDANTS’ MOTION
TO MODIFY THE DISPOSITIVE MOTION
DEADLINE
[ECF No. 122]

14
Plaintiff Robert Bishop is appearing pro se and in forma pauperis in this civil rights action

15
16

pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983.
On May 4, 2016, Defendants filed a motion to modify the dispositive motion deadline.

17
18

Pursuant to the Court’s discovery and scheduling order, the current deadline for filing dispositive

19

motions is May 5, 2016. However, on September 24, 2015, Defendants filed an exhaustion motion for

20

summary judgment which is pending review by the Court. On November 25, 2015, the Court granted

21

Defendants’ request to stay all merits-based discovery. (ECF No. 102.)
Defendants submit that in the event their exhaustion-based motion for summary judgment is

22
23

denied, Defendants will need additional time to conduct merit-based discovery and file a merit-based

24

dispositive motion. Therefore, Defendants request a modification of the dispositive motion deadline

25

to seventy-days after the Court resets the merits-based discovery deadline.
