Defendants.

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 motion for an extension of time to

19

conduct discovery (ECF No. 37), signed by plaintiff on March 23, 2019, and filed on April 3,

20

2019, and plaintiff’s motion to compel (ECF No. 39), signed by plaintiff on March 28, 2019, and

21

filed on April 12, 2019.

22

Pursuant to the court’s October 30, 2018, scheduling order, discovery in this

23

matter closed on March 4, 2019. Because both of plaintiff’s pending motions related to discovery

24

were signed and filed after this deadline, they are denied as untimely.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
Dated: May 29, 2019
