NAPOLEON SANDEFORD,

Plaintiff,

v.

CHARLES PLUMMER, et al.,

Defendants. /

No. C 06-06794 SBA (PR)

ORDER GRANTING IN PART AND

DENYING IN PART PLAINTIFF'S

REQUEST FOR AN EXTENSION OF

TIME TO FILE OPPOSITION; AND

GRANTING PLAINTIFF A FINAL BRIEF

EXTENSION

On March 17, 2010, Plaintiff filed another request for a three-week (3-week) extension of

time in which to file his opposition to Defendants' Motion for Summary Judgment. 

Having read and considered Plaintiff's request, and good cause appearing, 

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Plaintiff's request for an extension of time is GRANTED IN

PART and DENIED IN PART. Plaintiff claims that he only received "part of [his] legal work" since

he has been transferred to the federal detention center adjacent to the Federal Correctional Institution

in Dublin; therefore, he requests an extension because he anticipates he will be receiving the "rest of

[his] legal work . . . this week." (Pl.'s EOT Mot. at 1.) The Court notes that Plaintiff does not

specify what documents constitute the "legal work" that he does not have access to and whether they

are necessary to help him draft his opposition.

Plaintiff has already received a total of four (4) previous extensions of time to file his

opposition. The original deadline for his opposition was January 18, 2010, but it was extended to

February 1, 2010 when the Court first granted Plaintiff an extension. Plaintiff was then granted

another extension, and he was given until February 15, 2010 to file his opposition. When Plaintiff

first informed the Court that he had been transferred to Dublin without his "legal work," the Court

issued an Order dated February 16, 2010 granting Plaintiff yet another extension up to and until

March 1, 2010 to file his opposition. The February 16, 2010 Order was returned as undeliverable

when prison officials in Dublin "could not identify" Plaintiff. Because the wrong identification

number had been indicated on the Certificate of Service attached to the February 16, 2010 Order, the

Court granted Plaintiff another extension up to and until March 15, 2010. Therefore, on top of the

forty-five (45) days Plaintiff originally had to file his opposition, he has already received fifty-six

(56) additional days to file his opposition. Nevertheless, the Court finds that a brief extension of

time is appropriate. Plaintiff must file his opposition to Defendants' Motion for Summary Judgment

no later than March 22, 2005. Defendants may file their reply to the opposition no later than

March 29, 2010. 

This is Plaintiff's final extension of time to file his opposition, and no further extensions

will be granted.

This Order terminates Docket no. 72.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
