[PROPOSED] ORDER GRANTING
DEFENDANTS’ MOTION TO MODIFY
THE COURT’S SCHEDULING ORDER

14
15

M. YULE, et al.,

16

Defendants.

17
Defendants move to modify discovery cut-off and deadline for dispositive motions which

18
19

were recently set by the Magistrate Judge on May 18, 2020. (ECF 65) Good cause exists to

20

modify the scheduling order because Defendants have diligently served discovery on plaintiff

21

who has received an extension from the court to respond to the discovery until July 3, 2020.

22

Further, based on the COVID-19 health crisis, state and local shelter in place orders and orders at

23

the prison institutions limiting visits and inmate movement, Defendants may be unable to

24

schedule or complete plaintiff’s deposition by October 16, 2020. This will also delay

25

Defendants’ ability to prepare a dispositive motion. Defendants have timely sought the

26

modification of the scheduling order. There is no reason to believe Plaintiff will be prejudiced by

27

granting Defendants motion.
