UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JERRY DILLINGHAM,

Plaintiff,

v.

F. GARCIA,

Defendant.

Case No. 1:18-cv-00579-LJO-EPG (PC)

ORDER GRANTING PLAINTIFF’S 

MOTION FOR ADDITIONAL TIME TO 

RESPOND TO INTERROGATORY

(ECF NO. 96)

Jerry Dillingham (“Plaintiff”) is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis

with this civil rights action filed pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. On January 6, 2020, Plaintiff filed 

a motion for additional time to respond to an interrogatory. (ECF No. 96). Plaintiff states that he

needs additional time because he does not understand how to respond to the interrogatory. He 

made an appointment to attend the law library so that he could get help, but he was not taken out 

of his cell. Additionally, the law library has been closed since around December 26, 2019. 

In addition to requesting more time, Plaintiff provides at least a partial response to the 

interrogatory.
