Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding pro se with this civil rights action against sole

18

defendant Dr. Marianna Lotersztain on an Eighth Amendment claim of deliberate indifference to

19

plaintiff’s serious medical needs. Due to the current COVID-19 health crisis and associated

20

prison restrictions concerning library access, as well as a standard 90-day interval for prisoners to

21

request Olsen medical record reviews, plaintiff requests a 90-day extension of the discovery

22

deadline. ECF No. 48. The current discovery deadline is May 1, 2020, and the deadline for

23

dispositive motions is July 31, 2020. ECF No. 41. Plaintiff’s request includes several documents

24

reflecting his efforts to obtain an earlier review of his medical records. For good cause shown,

25

plaintiff’s request will be granted and all current deadlines will be extended.

26

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

27

1. Plaintiff’s request for extended time, ECF No. 48, is granted.
