GRANT SAXENA,

Plaintiff,

Case No. 2:22-cv-02126-CDS-BNW
v.
ORDER
JEZRAEL MARTINEZ-HERNANDEZ, et al.,
8
Defendants.
9
Before the Court is a document entitled “Answer and Motion to Stay Magistrate Second
10
11
Order to Show Cause.” ECF No. 59.
The body of Plaintiff’s motion deals with a request to extend the date for him to submit
12
13
his answers to the Courts’ orders to show cause. Plaintiff’s need for an extension is based on the
14
need to gather the phone records the Court ordered. Plaintiff has provided good cause for the
15
Court to extend the deadline for the submission of the phone records—but there is no good cause
16
to extend the deadline for him to provide substantive answers to the two orders to show cause and
17
submit the remaining documents the Court requested. Thus, Plaintiff is to submit his answers
18
(except for the phone records) by February 9, 2024. The phone records will be due February 14,
19
2024.
20
It is worth noting that the bulk of Plaintiff’s motion deals with issues that are not relevant
21
to the Court’s orders to show cause. To the extent this is not clear to Plaintiff, the reason this
22
Court issued the orders to show cause is because Plaintiff has disobeyed Court orders designed
23
for Plaintiff to have a Rule 26(f) conference with Defendants. As a result, the Court cautions
24
Plaintiff that his answers to the Court’ orders to show cause should be responsive to the issue at
25
hand—and not deal with immaterial matters.
26
27
28
Lastly, no legal or factual basis has been provided to stay the orders to show cause. As a
result, that request is denied.

IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that Plaintiff’s motion to extend deadlines at ECF No. 59
2
is GRANTED in part and DENIED in part.

DATED: February 4, 2024.
