IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

ETUATE SEKONA,

Plaintiff,

v.

F. CUSTINO, et al.,

Defendants.

No. 2:16-CV-0517-JAM-DMC-P

ORDER

Plaintiff, a prisoner proceeding pro se, brings this civil rights action pursuant to 

42 U.S.C. § 1983. Pending before the court are: (1) plaintiff’s motions for an extension of time to 

file responses to defendants’ motions for summary judgment and to stay discovery (Docs. 86 and 

89); and (2) defendants’ motion to stay discovery (Doc. 83). Plaintiff’s motion for a temporary 

restraining order (Doc. 85) will be addressed separately. 

Good cause appearing therefor, plaintiff’s motions for an extension of time are 

granted. Plaintiff’s oppositions to defendants’ motions for summary judgment and to stay 

discovery, filed as a single pleading on January 2, 2019 (Doc. 90), are deemed timely.
