ORDER
Defendants.

Plaintiff, a prisoner proceeding pro se, brings this civil rights action pursuant to
42 U.S.C. § 1983.
19
Plaintiff requests leave to proceed in forma pauperis and has submitted a
20
declaration that makes the showing required by 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a). The request to proceed in
21
forma pauperis will, therefore, be granted.
22
Plaintiff also requests an extension of time to submit evidence. Because the case
23
is not at issue, and because discovery has not been opened, there is no need to submit evidence to
24
the court. At a later stage of the proceedings (i.e., summary judgment or trial phase), plaintiff
25
will be provided an opportunity to submit his evidence. In the meantime, plaintiff’s motion will
26
be denied.
