ORDER GRANTING PLAINTIFF’S
MOTION TO CLARIFY DISCOVERY
ORDERS
(Doc. 25.)

Defendant.
Walter D. Ceasar, III (“Plaintiff”) is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma

17

pauperis with this civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Plaintiff has filed a motion
18

requesting clarification as to the Court’s discovery orders. (ECF No. 25.) The motion is

19

GRANTED.
20

On December 13, 2016, the Court entered a discovery and scheduling order. (ECF No.
21

18.) That order, which permitted the parties to serve discovery requests, was rescinded three
22

days later due to a clerical error. (ECF No. 19.) A corrected discovery and scheduling order
23

was entered on December 16, 2016. (ECF No. 20.) This order set an initial scheduling
24

conference, required Rule 26 initial disclosures, and set a scheduling conference, which is
25

presently set for April 13, 2017. (ECF Nos. 20, 21.) However, the December 16 order did not
26

permit the parties to serve discovery requests. (ECF No. 20.)

directed to re-send Plaintiff a copy of ECF numbers 19 through 21. For good cause, the

4

deadline for Plaintiff to serve initial disclosures pursuant to the December 16 discovery order is

5

EXTENDED until April 6, 2017.
