UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JOSHUA J. CANTU,

Plaintiff,

v.

GARCIA, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 1:09-cv-00177 AWI DLB PC

ORDER GRANTING DEFENDANTS’ 

REQUEST FOR LATE FILING

(Document 131)

ORDER DISCHARGING ORDER 

TO SHOW CAUSE

(Document 130)

Plaintiff Joshua J. Cantu (“Plaintiff”) is a former California state prisoner proceeding pro se 

in this civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983.

On February 27, 2015, the Court ordered Defendants to respond to Plaintiff’s February 25, 

2015, motion to extend the dispositive motion deadline. 

After not receiving a response within the allotted time, the Court issued an order to show 

cause on March 17, 2015. Defendants were ordered to show cause why sanctions should not be 

imposed for failing to comply with the February 27, 2015, Court order.

Shortly after the order issued, Defendants filed their response, along with a request for a late 

filing. In the request, Defendants’ counsel states that she was out of the office for trial preparation 

and trial from March 2, 2015, through March 16, 2015. ECF No. 131, at 1. She therefore missed the 

March 12, 2015, deadline to respond to the order to show cause.

Good cause appearing, the Court GRANTS Defendants’ request to permit a late filing and 

DISCHARGES the order to show cause. The Court will address Plaintiff’s motion to extend the 

dispositive motion deadline by separate order.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
