Case No. 16-cv-06607-SI
ORDER

v.

Re: Dkt. Nos. 63, 64
MIKE HANSEN, et al.,
Defendants.

12
13

Plaintiff’s request for an extension of the deadline to file a reply in support of his discovery

14

motion is DENIED as untimely. Docket No. 64. The court has already ruled on the discovery

15

motion; the court’s ruling on the discovery motion was made more than three weeks after defendants

16

filed their opposition brief and several days before plaintiff filed his request for an extension of the

17

deadline to file a reply.

18

Plaintiff’s request for a stay and abeyance is DENIED. Docket No. 63. As stated in the

19

order filed November 7, 2018, the court will entertain a joint request for a stay, see Docket No. 59

20

at 6, which plaintiff’s request is not.

21

Plaintiff has written to the court several times about difficulties obtaining his legal materials.

22

If plaintiff wants to complain about prison officials’ confiscation of his legal materials, he may file

23

a new civil rights action to do so. The defendants in the present action do not have custody of him

24

or determine what materials he may possess in prison.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
