No. 2:13-CV-0480-GEB-CMK-P

Plaintiff,

13

vs.

SANDERS, et al.,

15

ORDER

Defendants.

16

/

17

Plaintiff, a prisoner proceeding pro se, brings this civil rights action pursuant to

18

42 U.S.C. § 1983. Pending before the court are plaintiff’s motions for additional time to file a

19

response to defendant’s motion for summary judgment (Docs. 62, 64, 66). Good cause appearing

20

therefor, the requests will be granted. Plaintiff may file a response within 30 days of the date of

21

this order.

22

In addition, plaintiff has filed another motion for appointment of counsel (Doc.

23

63). However, it appears this motion crossed in the mail with the court’s denial of his prior

24

request. This second request appears to be the exact same motion, filed a second time. As such,

25

the motion will be denied as duplicative.
