UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

ADAM JAY STONE,

Plaintiff,

v.

C. PFEIFFER, et al.,

Defendants.

No. 1:21-cv-01461-KES-SAB (PC)

ORDER DENYING PLAINTIFF’S MOTION 

FOR ISSUANCE OF SUBPOENAS AS 

UNTIMELY

(ECF No. 170)

Plaintiff Adam Jay Stone is proceeding pro se in this civil rights action filed pursuant to 

42 U.S.C. § 1983. This action is proceeding Plaintiff’s excessive force claim against Defendants 

B. Gonzales, G. Morales, K. Gonzales, and Anderson in violation of the Eighth Amendment.

Currently before the Court is Plaintiff’s motion for the issuance of subpoenas, filed 

August 28, 2024. Plaintiff’s request is untimely. 

The Court issued the initial discovery and scheduling order on November 22, 2022. (ECF 

No. 59.) On June 7, 2023, the Court granted Defendants’ motion to stay and reset the pending 

deadlines until a final ruling on Defendant Anderson’s exhaustion motion for summary judgment, 

which included briefing on Plaintiff’s pending motion to compel. (ECF No. 93.) 

On September 27, 2023, the Court set this case for a settlement conference at Corcoran 

State Prison on November 6, 2023, but the case did not settle. (ECF Nos. 117, 123.) 

On October 25, 2023, Defendant Anderson’s exhaustion motion for summary judgment

was denied. (ECF No. 122.) 

On November 8, 2023, the Court lifted the stay of discovery, directed Defendants to file a 

response to Plaintiff’s pending motions to compel within thirty days, and extended the discovery 

deadline to February 6, 2024 and dispositive motion filing deadline to May 6, 2024. (ECF No. 

125.) 

On April 23, 2024, the Court granted Plaintiff’s motion to modify the discovery and 

scheduling order and extended the discovery deadline to June 25, 2024. (ECF No. 154.) The 

extended discovery phase for this case closed on June 25, 2024 and has not been further extended.

Indeed, the Court denied Plaintiff’s most recent request to extend the discovery deadline on 

August 9, 2024. (ECF No. 167.) Accordingly, Plaintiff’s request for the issuance of subpoenas is 

DENIED as UNTIMELY. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: August 29, 2024
