RICHARD GARCIA,

Plaintiff,

v.

R. PEREZ, et al.,

15

Case No. 1:17-cv-00865-NONE-JLT (PC)
ORDER GRANTING DEFENDANT
PEREZ’S MOTION TO MODIFY
DISCOVERY AND SCHEDULING
ORDER
(Doc. 96)

Defendants.

17

Defendant Perez moves to modify the Court’s discovery and scheduling order. (Doc. 96.)

18

Defendant requests that the dispositive motion deadline be extended until April 5, 2021. (Id.) The

19

current deadline is February 4, 2021. (Doc. 87.) Although the time for Plaintiff to file an

20

opposition or a statement of non-opposition to Defendant’s motion has not yet passed, see Local

21

Rule 230(l), the Court finds neither necessary here. Having considered Defendant’s motion,

22

including defense counsel’s supporting declaration, the Court finds good cause to GRANT the

23

request. Accordingly, the Court resets the pretrial dispositive motion deadline to April 5, 2021.

24

All other deadlines remain in effect.
