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.

1

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.
