OFFICER BEAVER,

15

Case No. 1:16-cv-01689-NONE-JLT (PC)
ORDER GRANTING DEFENDANTS’
MOTION TO MODIFY DISCOVERY
AND SCHEDULING ORDER
(Doc. 63)

Defendant.

16
Before the Court is Defendant’s motion to modify the Court’s discovery and scheduling

17
18

order. (Doc. 63.) Defendants request that the discovery and dispositive-motion deadlines be

19

extended until after the Court rules on their pending, exhaustion-based motion for summary

20

judgment. (See Doc. 63-1 at 1, 4.) Also, due to restrictions imposed as a result of the COVID-19

21

pandemic, defense counsel anticipates that he will not be able to take Plaintiff’s deposition until

22

early August. (Id. at 4, 5.) The time for Plaintiff to file an opposition or a statement of non-

23

opposition has not yet passed, see Local Rule 230(l), but the Court deems neither necessary here.
