UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

ERIC RYAN HAYDE, 

Plaintiff, 

v. 

TAMARA TABER, et al., 

Defendants. 

No. 2:23-cv-1131 AC P 

ORDER 

 Plaintiff has filed a motion for a thirty-day extension of time to complete discovery. ECF 

No. 33. In addition to various difficulties plaintiff has faced due to his recent release from 

prison,1

 he asserts that he is still waiting for documents he requested from the prison and for 

supplemental discovery responses from defendant. Id. To the extent plaintiff appears to seek 

additional time to serve additional discovery requests, the time for doing so has long since passed 

and he has not established grounds for re-opening that deadline. However, to the extent plaintiff 

appears to assert that he is waiting on documents responsive to defendant’s requests and

 One of the difficulties cited by plaintiff is that he no longer has access to LexisNexis for legal 

research. ECF No. 33 at 6. Plaintiff is advised that many counties operate public law libraries, 

which he should be able to locate through a basic internet search.

showing of extraordinary cause. The court will also extend the dispositive motions deadline
