UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

Plaintiff Robert Bishop is appearing pro se and in forma pauperis in this civil rights action 

pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. 

On May 4, 2016, Defendants filed a motion to modify the dispositive motion deadline. 

Pursuant to the Court’s discovery and scheduling order, the current deadline for filing dispositive 

motions is May 5, 2016. However, on September 24, 2015, Defendants filed an exhaustion motion for 

summary judgment which is pending review by the Court. On November 25, 2015, the Court granted 

Defendants’ request to stay all merits-based discovery. (ECF No. 102.) 

Defendants submit that in the event their exhaustion-based motion for summary judgment is 

denied, Defendants will need additional time to conduct merit-based discovery and file a merit-based 

dispositive motion. Therefore, Defendants request a modification of the dispositive motion deadline 

to seventy-days after the Court resets the merits-based discovery deadline.
