Case No. 2:15-cv-02066-JCM-CWH

ORDER

Presently before the court is pro se Plaintiff Terrie Sena’s motion for an extension of time to

11

respond to a discovery request (ECF No. 26), filed on September 20, 2016. Defendants did not file a

12

response. Also before the court are Plaintiff’s motions for leave to conduct a deposition (ECF Nos.

13

27 and 28), filed on September 20, 2016. Defendants filed responses (ECF Nos. 29 and 30) on

14

September 30, 2016. Plaintiff did not file a reply.

15

Plaintiff, who is presently incarcerated, requests an extension of time to respond to

16

Defendants’ first set of interrogatories and request for production of documents. As Plaintiff’s

17

proposed deadline, October 23, 2016, has already passed, the court will deny the motion as moot.

18

Plaintiff also requests leave to depose the two named Defendants in this case. Defendants

19

oppose this motion, arguing that Plaintiff does not cite any authority allowing plaintiffs to take a

20

deposition while incarcerated. Further, although Plaintiff argues that these depositions are necessary

21

for her case, she does not provide any reason that interrogatories or other written forms of discovery

22

would be inadequate. Finding no grounds to order a deposition, the court will deny Plaintiff’s

23

motions.
