IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

MIGUEL TORRES,

Plaintiff,

v.

ISMAEL PATEL, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 1:18-cv-00188-NONE-SAB

ORDER GRANTING DEFENDANTS’ 

MOTION TO MODIFY THE DISCOVERY 

AND SCHEDULING ORDER

(ECF No. 45)

The discovery and scheduling order in this matter was filed on June 18, 2019. On April 

10, 2020, Defendants filed a motion to modify the discovery and scheduling order in this matter. 

Defendants seek to extend the deadline to file dispositive documents by sixty days. Counsel for 

Defendants has presented a declaration in which he states that due to the COVID-19 restrictions 

he has been unable to go into the office and only received remote access on April 7, 2020. 

Further, due to the COVID-19 pandemic it is anticipated that there will be delays in receiving 

documents needed to support the motion for summary judgment. The Court finds that good cause 

exists to modify the discovery and scheduling order. 

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. Defendants’ motion to modify the discovery and scheduling order is GRANTED;
