 Although the order granting defendant’s last request for an extension of time to file his

dispositive motion required defendant to file it by October 16, 2005, the court, on this occasion

only, will overlook defendant’s having filed the motion one day beyond the deadline and allow

him to proceed. However, any future tardiness on the part of defendant will not be permitted.

 Should plaintiff seek an extension of time to file his response to defendant’s motion, his

request must be timely and show good cause.

Plaintiff, No. CIV S-04-0571 FCD GGH P

vs.

WARDEN D.L. RUNNELS, 

Defendant. ORDER

 /

Plaintiff has requested an extension of time to file and serve his pretrial statement 

pursuant to the court’s order of March 24, 2005. On the same day plaintiff filed his request,

defendant’s motion for summary judgment was filed.1 Therefore, the court will vacate the dates

for the pretrial hearing and for the trial set forth in the court’s scheduling order. Plaintiff is

reminded that, by order filed on August 26, 2004, he was advised of the requirements for filing

an opposition to a motion for summary judgment under the Local Rules.2
