UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

TED DARNELL DANIELS, 

Plaintiff, 

v. 

ERIC ARNOLD, 

Defendants. 

No. 2:16-cv-0551 MCE AC P 

ORDER 

 Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding pro se with this civil rights action against sole 

defendant Dr. Marianna Lotersztain on an Eighth Amendment claim of deliberate indifference to 

plaintiff’s serious medical needs. Due to the current COVID-19 health crisis and associated 

prison restrictions concerning library access, as well as a standard 90-day interval for prisoners to 

request Olsen medical record reviews, plaintiff requests a 90-day extension of the discovery 

deadline. ECF No. 48. The current discovery deadline is May 1, 2020, and the deadline for 

dispositive motions is July 31, 2020. ECF No. 41. Plaintiff’s request includes several documents 

reflecting his efforts to obtain an earlier review of his medical records. For good cause shown, 

plaintiff’s request will be granted and all current deadlines will be extended. 

 Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that: 

 1. Plaintiff’s request for extended time, ECF No. 48, is granted.
