KENNETH GIBBS,

Plaintiff,

v.

T. FARLEY, et. al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 16-cv-0731-TEH 

ORDER GRANTING MOTION FOR 

PROTECTIVE ORDER AND GRANTING 

EXTENSION 

Re: Dkt. Nos. 17, 21

Plaintiff proceeds with a civil rights complaint under 42 

U.S.C. § 1983. Defendants have filed a motion to dismiss 

Plaintiff’s action as being in violation of the statute of 

limitations. The motion is pending and waiting for a response 

from Plaintiff. Defendants have also filed a motion for a 

protective order to stay discovery pending the resolution of the 

motion to dismiss. Defendants note that Plaintiff has served 

nine sets of discovery requests and none of the requests relate 

to the statute of limitations issue. The motion is granted and 

discovery is stayed because the requests are not related to the 

issue raised in the motion to dismiss.

Good cause appearing, Plaintiff’s request for an extension 

of time to file an opposition to the motion to dismiss is 

GRANTED. Plaintiff shall file an opposition by November 11, 

2016. 

For the foregoing reasons, the Court hereby orders as
