civil rights action. This action is proceeding against Defendants Jung-Hernandez, Mendoza,

Pending before the Court is Plaintiff’s motion to modify the scheduling order. Plaintiff

has Hepatitis C, and underwent a 12-month treatment which left him in debilitating pain in his

joints. Plaintiff relied on other inmates to assist him in writing, but has not been successful in

slowly regaining sufficient ability to use his hands and write. Plaintiff requests a sixty day

extension of time for the deadlines in the scheduling order. Defendants filed a statement of nonopposition.
