IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

SUSAN MAE POLK,

Plaintiff,

 v.

DEPUTY JAMES CAVIN, et al.,

Defendants. /

No. C 08-1483 MMC (PR)

ORDER GRANTING IN PART

PLAINTIFF’S REQUEST FOR

EXTENSION TO SUBMIT OBJECTIONS

TO MAGISTRATE JUDGE’S ORDER OF

NOVEMBER 27, 2012

Before the Court is plaintiff’s “Request for an Extension and/or Stay in Order to

Submit Objections to the Magistrate’s 11-27-12 Order Denying Plaintiff’s Motion to

Compel,” dated by plaintiff December 13, 2012 and filed with the Clerk of the Court on

December 17, 2012. Defendants have not filed a response thereto.

In her request, plaintiff seeks an extension of the deadline to file objections to

Magistrate Judge Joseph Spero’s order of November 27, 2012, specifically, an extension to

March 30, 2013. In light of plaintiff’s statement, undisputed by defendants, that prison

officials have denied plaintiff access to her legal materials and to the law library, the Court

finds good cause has been shown for an extension. As to the length of any such

extension, however, the Court further notes that, subsequent to the filing of the instant

request, plaintiff filed a motion in which she states her legal materials were returned to her

by prison officials on December 17, 2012 and that she has been provided with some

access to case law. (See Mot. to Substitute at 2.) Consequently, the Court finds an

extension of the length sought by the instant request is unnecessary.

Accordingly, plaintiff’s request for an extension is hereby GRANTED in part, and the

Court hereby extends to January 25, 2013 the deadline for plaintiff to file and serve any

objections to the Magistrate Judge’s order of November 27, 2012.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: January 2, 2013
