CHRISTOPHER DICKSON,

Plaintiff,

GOMEZ, et al.,

ORDER RESETTING DISCOVERY AND
DISPOSITIVE MOTION DEADLINES

v.

14

Case No. 1:17-cv-00294-DAD-BAM (PC)

15

Discovery Deadline: May 17, 2021
Dispositive Motion Deadline: August 17, 2021
Defendants.

16
Plaintiff Christopher Dickson (“Plaintiff”) is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in

17
18

forma pauperis in this civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983.
On March 26, 2020, the Court vacated the discovery and merits-based dispositive motion

19
20

deadlines in order to resolve the pending motion for summary judgment based on Plaintiff’s

21

failure to exhaust available administrative remedies. (ECF No. 51.) The motion for summary

22

judgment was granted in part and denied in part by the District Judge’s order of December 16,

23

2020. (ECF No. 59.) Pursuant to that order, this action now proceeds against Defendants Gomez,

24

Rios, and Martinez for excessive force and against Defendants Duncan and Esparza for violations

25

of Plaintiff’s due process rights. (Id.)
Accordingly, the Court finds it appropriate and necessary to reset the discovery and

26
27

dispositive motion deadlines. Fed. R. Civ. P. 16.

Based on the foregoing, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

2

1. The deadline for the completion of all discovery, including filing all motions to

3

compel discovery, shall be May 17, 2021. Absent good cause, discovery motions will

4

not be considered if filed after the discovery deadline. Therefore, discovery requests

5

and deposition notices must be served sufficiently in advance of the discovery

6

deadline to permit time for a response and time to prepare and file a motion to compel.

7

2. The deadline for filing all dispositive motions (other than a motion for summary

8
9

judgment for failure to exhaust) shall be August 17, 2021.
3. Any request for an extension of these deadlines must be filed on or before the

10

expiration of the deadline. However, the parties are advised that an extension of time

11

will only be granted upon a clear showing of good cause.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
