UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JEREMY JONES,

Plaintiff,

v.

DR. CHEN,

Defendant.

CASE NO. 1:11-cv-01762-MJS (PC)

ORDER GRANTING IN PART MOTION 

FOR EXTENSION OF TIME

(ECF No. 57)

FEBRUARY 16, 2015 DEADLINE

Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis in this civil 

rights action brought pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. The action proceeds against 

Defendant Chen on Plaintiff’s Eighth Amendment inadequate medical care claim. (ECF 

No. 22.)

Defendant seeks an extension of time to February 19, 2015 to file his pretrial 

statement on the grounds that Plaintiff received an extension of time and defense 

counsel has other deadlines in other cases. (ECF No. 57.) Although the details of 

defense counsel’s deadlines were not provided to the Court, the Court will assume that 

such deadlines provide good cause for a limited extension of time. At the same time,

defense counsel is unable to timely prepare a pretrial statement due to vague and 

unspecified deadlines in other cases.

Accordingly, it is HEREBY ORDERED that Defendant’s request for extension of 

time (ECF No. 57) is GRANTED IN PART. Defendant’s time to file a pretrial statement is

hereby extended to February 16, 2015.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
