No. 1:17-cv-01691-DAD-EPG (PC)

v.

ORDER CONCERNING LETTER

T. THOMPSON and J. CASTELLANOS,

15

(ECF No. 62)

Defendants.

16
On April 19, 2021, Plaintiff Francisco Sierra, a state inmate proceeding pro se and in

17
18

forma pauperis, filed a letter with the Court. (ECF No. 62). The letter is not a motion for

19

extension of time, but it does raise a number of issues that appear to be making it difficult to

20

respond to Defendant’s pending motion for summary judgment (ECF No. 58), such as limited

21

access to the law library.
Accordingly, the Court will give Plaintiff an additional 30 days to respond to the motion

22
23

for summary judgment. If Plaintiff needs an additional extension, he may file a motion for an

24

extension of time. If Plaintiff needs the extension because he lacks law library access, Plaintiff

25

shall indicate what steps he has taken to receive law library or paging access, including by

26

attaching any grievances he has filed and any institutional responses.
