UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JOSHUA J. CANTU,

Plaintiff,

v.

M. GARCIA, et al., 

Defendants.

Case No. 1:09-cv-00177 DAD DLB PC

ORDER EXTENDING TIME FOR

PLAINTIFF TO FILE OBJECTIONS

TWENTY-ONE DAY DEADLINE

Plaintiff Joshua J. Cantu (“Plaintiff”) is a state prisoner proceeding pro se in this civil rights 

action filed pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Plaintiff filed this action on January 15, 2009, in the 

Northern District of California, and it was transferred to this Court on January 26, 2009. The action 

is proceeding on Plaintiff’s June 6, 2013, Second Amended Complaint for (1) an Eighth Amendment 

excessive force claim against Defendant Garcia; and (2) an Eighth Amendment failure to protect 

claim against Defendants Goree and Baptiste. 

On December 15, 2015, the Court issued Findings and Recommendations regarding the 

parties’ motion for summary judgment. The Findings and Recommendations contained notice that 

any objections were to be filed within thirty (30) days.

On January 4, 2016, Plaintiff filed a notice of appeal, even though the Findings and 

Recommendations are not a final, appealable order. He did not file objections.

As an appeal is not the proper method for objecting to the Findings and Recommendations, 

the Court will grant Plaintiff an additional twenty-one (21) days within which to file objections. If 

Plaintiff does not file objections within this time frame, the Findings and Recommendations will be 

submitted to the District Court without the benefit of Plaintiff’s input.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
