UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JEREMY PINSON,

 Plaintiff,

v.

FEDERAL BUREAU OF PRISONS,

 Defendant.

Case No. 1:13-cv-01821-AWI-MJS (PC)

ORDER GRANTING MOTION TO STAY 

DISCOVERY

(ECF No. 63)

Plaintiff is a federal prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis in this 

Privacy Act and civil rights action. (ECF Nos. 8 & 13.) The action proceeds on Plaintiff’s 

Privacy Act claim against the Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP) and his First and Eighth 

Amendment claims against Defendant Valero. (ECF Nos. 15 & 40.)

On April 17, 2015, Defendants filed a motion for summary judgment asserting 

that Plaintiff failed to exhaust his administrative remedies and that Defendant Valero 

was entitled to qualified immunity. (ECF No. 58.) 

Before the Court is Defendants’ June 5, 2015 motion to stay discovery pending 

resolution of the motion for summary judgment. (ECF No. 63.) Plaintiff filed a statement 

of no opposition. (ECF No. 64.) The Court finds a protective order staying discovery is 

appropriate in these circumstances. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 26(c)(1); Albino v. Baca, 747 

F.3d 1162, 1170 (9th Cir. 2014). 

Accordingly, it is HEREBY ORDERED that Defendants’ motion (ECF No. 20) is
