ORDER GRANTING REQUESTS TO

EXTEND DISCOVERY DEADLINE (Docs. 

40-1, 41.) 

ORDER DENYING PLAINTIFF’S REQUEST

TO EXTEND THE AMENDED PLEADINGS

DEADLINE (Doc. 40-2.) 

 John R. Martinez (“Plaintiff”) is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma

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

On June 22, 2005, Plaintiff moved to extend the discovery deadline of July 5, 2005, and

the amended pleadings deadline of August 5, 2005. Plaintiff says that he needs the extra time to

obtain declarations from inmates who have recently been released from segregation and that he

does not yet have all his legal paperwork. 

On June 23, 2005, Defendants moved to extend the discovery deadline in order to depose

Plaintiff. 

A. Motion to Extend Discovery

The Court has examined the requests of the parties to extend the discovery deadline and

finds good cause to grant the requests. Accordingly, the request to extend the discovery deadline

is GRANTED. 

B. Motion to Extend Amended Pleadings Deadline

The Court has examined Plaintiff’s request to extend the Amended Pleadings deadline

and finds Plaintiff does not show good cause to extend the deadline. As a preliminary matter, the

deadline is not until August 5, 2005. Other than Plaintiff’s statement that he needs to obtain the

declarations of inmates just released from segregation, the extension of the discovery deadline

should suffice. 

C. Conclusion and Order

Accordingly, the Court HEREBY ORDERS: 

1. The requests to extend the discovery deadline is GRANTED. Discovery,

including all motions to compel, SHALL conclude on August 5, 2005;

2. Plaintiff’s request to extend the amended pleadings deadline is DENIED. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
