Before the Court is plaintiff Susan Mae Polk’s “Request for Extension,” filed October
17, 2012. Defendants have filed a response. Having and considered the parties’
respective written submissions, the Court rules as follows.
Plaintiff seeks an extension of “all deadlines” to January 3, 2013, because,
according to plaintiff, she was transferred to a state prison in Corona, California on October
9, 2012 and had not received her legal documents as of October 13, 2012, i.e., four days
later. The only pending deadline is the December 6, 2012 deadline for plaintiff to file
opposition to defendants’ motion for summary judgment. Because plaintiff was served by
mail with defendants’ motion for summary judgment on December 21, 2011, plaintiff, under
the present schedule and as a result of numerous extensions she has been afforded, will
have close to one year to prepare her opposition. Plaintiff has failed to show that, as a
result of her recent transfer or otherwise, she cannot in the exercise of reasonable

1

diligence complete her opposition by December 6, 2012.

2

Accordingly, plaintiff’s request is hereby DENIED.

3

IT IS SO ORDERED.
