IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

NATHAN JEROME ELLIS,

Plaintiff, No. CIV S-03-1938 LKK CMK P

vs.

MIKE KNOWLES, et al.,

Defendants. ORDER

 /

Currently before the court is defendants’ request for an extension of time to a

reply to plaintiff’s objections to the findings and recommendations filed March 3, 2005. In

support of their request, defendants argue that, in his objections plaintiff cites a recently decided

case, Ngo v. Woodford, No. 03-16042, 2005 WL 674707 (9th Cir. March 24, 2005), which may

not continue to have precedential value if the Ninth Circuit grants rehearing en banc.

Despite what may happen in the future, Ngo is currently the binding precedent in this circuit and

the court declines to suspend activity in this case until a time when that may change. 

IT IS ORDERED that defendants’ request for an extension of time is denied. 

DATED: April 27, 2005
