ORDER

v.
CALIFORNIA DEPARTMNT OF
CORRECTIONS, et al.,
Respondents.

Defendants seek an extension of the discovery deadline established in this case in

18

the Discovery and Scheduling Order filed on December 14, 2017, ECF No. 36, to permit them to

19

depose plaintiff and have explained why they have been unable to do so sooner. ECF No. 42.

20

The court has reviewed that motion and has found that defendants exercised diligence in

21

attempting to take plaintiff’s deposition sooner but were prevented from doing so by

22

circumstances beyond their control. The court therefore finds there is good cause to grant

23

defendants’ motion.
