Plaintiff,
No. CIV S-03-1099 GEB CKD P
vs.
M. S. EVANS, et al.,

Defendants.
15
ORDER
/
16
Plaintiff, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, filed this civil rights action in 2003
17
seeking relief under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Earlier this year, the magistrate judge previously assigned
18
to this case ordered that, as plaintiff and defendants Evans and Briddle had reached a settlement,
19
the parties would file stipulations to dismiss all remaining claims against Evans and Briddle
20
pursuant to Rule 41(a) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure by September 2, 2011. (Dkt. Nos.
21
225, 227.)
22
Pending before the court is Evans’ and Briddle’s September 1, 2011 motion to be
23
relieved of the duty to file stipulations of dismissal by September 2, 2011. (Dkt. Nos. 229, 231.)
24
Defendants state that, due to budgetary constraints facing the State of California, they have not
25
yet received the settlement funds owed to plaintiff pursuant to the settlement, but hope to receive
26
such funds later this month. Defendants request that the parties not be required to file the
1
1
dismissal until such time as plaintiff’s counsel has received the settlement check. (Dkt. No. 229.)
2
Good cause being shown, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED THAT the parties are
3
granted an extension of forty-five days from the issuance of this order to stipulate to dismissal
4
pursuant to Rule 41(a). If defendants require additional time to obtain the settlement funds, they
5
may seek an extension at that time.
