No. C 08-1483 MMC (PR)
ORDER GRANTING EXTENSION OF
TIME FOR PLAINTIFF TO FILE
REPLY RE: PLAINTIFF’S MOTION
TO SUBSTITUTE SHERIFF
LIVINGSTON
(Docket No. 241)

Before the Court is plaintiff’s request for an extension of time to file a reply brief in

14

support of plaintiff’s motion to substitute Contra Costa County Sheriff Livingston for former

15

Sheriff Rupf as a defendant in this action, which motion was filed December 26, 2012.

16

Pursuant to the Court’s scheduling order of January 4, 2013, defendants filed an opposition

17

on January 18, 2013, and plaintiff’s reply is currently due on or before February 1, 2013.

18

Plaintiff seeks an additional thirty-six days.

19

In light of plaintiff’s statement that prison officials have denied plaintiff access to her

20

legal materials and to the law library, the Court finds good cause has been shown for an

21

extension, but, given the relatively straightforward nature of the motion, that an extension of

22

thirty-six days is not necessary.

23

Accordingly, plaintiff’s request for an extension is hereby GRANTED in part, and the

24

Court hereby extends to February 15, 2013 the deadline for plaintiff to file and serve her

25

reply.

26

This order terminates Docket No. 241.

27

IT IS SO ORDERED.

28

DATED: January 31, 2013
