EARNEST S. HARRIS,

No. 1:18-cv-0080 KJM DB P

Plaintiff,

13

v.

AGUIRRE, et al.,

ORDER

15

Defendants.

16
17

Plaintiff is a former state prisoner proceeding pro se with a civil rights action under 42

18

U.S.C. §1983. Plaintiff alleges defendants’ use of the Guard One Security Check System

19

deprived him of sleep in violation of his Eighth Amendment rights. On January 5, 2024, the court

20

issued an amended scheduling order which set a deadline of May 31, 2024 for filing dispositive

21

motions. (ECF No. 117.) Defendants now seek a 90-day extension of that deadline. (ECF No.

22

120.) Defendants’ counsel states that they are new to this case and that the extension of time

23

would permit the parties to engage in informal settlement discussions. Defendants further state

24

that plaintiff does not oppose this request.

25

Accordingly, and good cause appearing, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that

26

1.

28

Defendants’ motion for modification of the scheduling order (ECF No. 120) is granted;
and

The deadline for filing dispositive motions is extended through August 29, 2024. In all
other respects the January 5, 2024 amended scheduling order is unchanged.
