ORDER

T. FELKER, et al.,

15

Defendants.

16
Plaintiff is a state prisoner, proceeding without counsel, with a civil rights action pursuant

17
18

to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Pending before the court is plaintiff’s motion to compel defendants to

19

respond to interrogatories. (ECF No. 128.) Pursuant to the mailbox rule, this motion was filed

20

August 15, 2014. (Id. at 4.) For the following reasons, this motion is denied.

21

On March 12, 2014, the court extended the deadline to complete discovery to May 6,

22

2014. (ECF No. 121.) Plaintiff’s motion to compel is untimely. Accordingly, this motion is

23

denied.

24

Also pending is defendants’ second motion for an extension of time to file a dispositive

25

motion. (ECF No. 129.) Defendants request a fourteen day extension. Good cause appearing,

26

defendants’ motion is granted.
