v.

No. 2:13-cv-2566 GEB CKD P

ORDER

SOLANO COUNTY DETENTION
FACILITY, et al.,
Defendants.

17

On January 27, 2015, plaintiff filed two motions to compel discovery. (ECF Nos. 30, 31.)

18
19

Defendant has opposed the motions, arguing that they are untimely, among other issues. (ECF

20

No. 35.)
The Discovery and Scheduling Order in this action required all motions necessary to

21
22

compel discovery to be filed by September 5, 2014. (ECF No. 19 at 5.) As plaintiff has provided

23

no compelling reason to modify the scheduling order, his discovery motions are untimely, and the

24

court need not reach defendant’s alternative arguments for dismissal.

and 31) are denied as untimely.
