IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JUAN RADILLO,

Plaintiff, CV F 04 5353 AWI WMW P

vs. ORDER RE MOTIONS 

(DOCS 34, 37)

M. D. LUNES, et al.,

Defendants.

On December 5, 2006, an order was entered, granting Plaintiff’s request for an

extension of time to complete discovery. The discovery cut-off date was extended to January 5,

2007. Defendants’ request clarification of the December 5 order. Plaintiff failed to inform the th

court that his first set of interrogatories to Defendant Lunes contained more than twenty-five

interrogatories. Defendant objected to responding to the interrogatories in excess of twenty-five,

pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 33.

Plaintiff propounded a second set of interrogatories, which was the basis for

Plaintiff’s request for an extension of the discovery cut-off date. This second set of

interrogatories consists of twenty-five additional interrogatories for each Defendant. Counsel for

Defendants correctly notes that Plaintiff may not propound additional discovery without leave of

court. Defendants have indicated, however, that in an effort to move forward in good faith, they

will not simply object to the discovery but seek to ascertain whether the Court was, in its

December 5, 2006, order, implicitly allowing Plaintiff to propound more than 25 interrogatories. 

If so, Defendants request 30 days from the date of the Court’s order clarifying its ruling to

respond. Defendants also seek an extension of time to file a dispositive motion. 

It is therefore ordered that:

1. Plaintiff is granted leave to propound an excess of twenty-five interrogatories,

characterized by Plaintiff as his second set of interrogatories. 

2. Defendants are granted an extension of time of thirty days from the date of

service of this order in which to respond to the interrogatories.

3. The deadline for filing dispositive motions is extended to March 27, 2007. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
