Plaintiff,
v.
SGT. HOULE, at Buena Vista Minimum Center,

Defendant’s Motion to Stay Briefing Pending Resolution of Defendant’s Motion to Dismiss

the dispositive motions deadline. For good cause shown, the Scheduling Order is amended as
follows:
Dispositive motions deadline

December 31, 2012

In addition, to allow the District Court sufficient time to consider any dispositive motion in this case,
the Court will vacate and reschedule the Final Pretrial Conference from January 10, 2013 to
