Plaintiff,

ORDER GRANTING MOTION FOR
EXTENSION OF TIME
(ECF No. 77).

Defendants.

Plaintiff Francisco Vega, Jr., is a state prisoner proceeding pro se in this civil rights

action. This case proceeds on Plaintiff’s First Amendment retaliation claims against Defendants
Soto, Noujaime, and Borba. (ECF No. 15).

On December 15, 2023, the Court issued an order, granting in part, Plaintiff’s motion to
compel. (ECF No. 68). As part of this order, the Court permitted Plaintiff to serve requests for
production on Defendants by no later than February 6, 2024, and directed Defendants to respond
to such requests within 30 days after they were first served. (Id. at 17).

23

Now before the Court is Plaintiff’s request for an extension to February 20, 2024, to serve

24

requests for production. (ECF No. 77). As grounds, Plaintiff states that various circumstances at

25

his prison have limited his access to the law library, and a two-week extension will allow him to

26

properly file requests for production.
