FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

KEENAN WILKINS,

Plaintiff,

PAUL GONZALES, et al.,

Defendants.

No. 2: 16-cv-0347 KJM KJN P

ORDER

Plaintiff is a state prisoner, proceeding without counsel, with a civil rights action pursuant 

to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. On July 31, 2017, defendants filed a motion to revoke plaintiff’s in forma 

pauperis status. (ECF No. 50.) Defendants argue that plaintiff has five strikes pursuant to 28 

U.S.C. § 1915(g).

On July 31, 2017, defendants also filed a motion for an extension of time to file a 

responsive pleading. (ECF No. 51.) Defendants state that a responsive pleading was due on July 

31, 2017. Defendants request a thirty days extension of time to file a responsive pleading if the 

motion to revoke plaintiff’s in forma pauperis status is denied. Good cause appearing, 

defendants’ motion for an extension of time to file a responsive pleading is granted.

On August 18, 2017, plaintiff filed a motion for an extension of time to file an opposition 

to defendants’ motion to revoke his in forma pauperis status. (ECF No. 55.) In the alternative, 

plaintiff requests that this action be stayed because one of his alleged § 1915(g) strikes is on
