ANTHONY W. ROBINSON,

No. 2:12-cv-2783 MCE GGH PS

Plaintiff,
v.

ORDER

COUNTY OF SAN JOAQUIN, et al.,

14

Defendants.

15
16

On March 11, 2014, plaintiff filed two motions. The first motion seeks to compel non-

17

party EEOC’s compliance with subpoenas. (ECF No. 45.) The second motion seeks

18

modification of the current scheduling order. (ECF No. 46.) Defendants have filed oppositions

19

to both motions.

20

Turning first to the motion to extend discovery and law and motion deadlines, defendants

21

are partially correct in that plaintiff has noticed the hearing for March 27, 2014, less than the 28

22

days required by E.D. Local Rule 230(b). Nevertheless, a hearing is not necessary, and

23

defendants have already filed a response. Therefore, the matter will be decided presently. Due to

24

plaintiff’s pro se status, his legitimate attempts to propound discovery without delay, and because

25

the trial date will not be affected, plaintiff’s motion will be granted. The discovery and law and

26

motion deadlines will be extended by thirty days.

27
28

In regard to the motion to compel the EEOC to produce documents, the EEOC has not
filed a response. In order for the motion to be properly considered, plaintiff shall file copies of
1

1

the two subpoenas served on the EEOC, as well as a listing of the documents already produced by

2

the EEOC. See E.D. Local Rules 250.5(d); 251(c)(3).

3

Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that:

4

1. Plaintiff’s “motion to extend discovery and final law and motion calendar,” filed

5
6
7

March 11, 2014, (ECF No. 46), is granted and the March 27, 2014 hearing is vacated.
2. The discovery deadline is extended to April 24, 2014; motions to compel discovery
shall be timely noticed to be heard by April 10, 2014.

8

3. Law and motion deadline is extended to May 22, 2014.

9

4. Within seven days of this order, plaintiff shall file copies of the two subpoenas served

10
11

on the EEOC, as well as a listing of the documents already produced by this non-party.
5. The April 3, 2014 hearing remains on the undersigned’s 10:00 a.m. law and motion

12

calendar until further notice.

13

Dated: March 19, 2014
