DENNIS LAMAR JAMES,

Plaintiff,

v.

OAKLAND POLICE DEPARTMENT, et 

al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 13-cv-00011-SI 

ORDER DENYING REQUEST FOR 

FURTHER EXTENSION OF DEADLINE

Re: Dkt. No. 99

On April 1, 2016, the court issued an order extending deadlines. It is not clear whether 

plaintiff received that order because, on April 7, 2016, he sent a request for an extension of a 

deadline that the court already had extended. That is, plaintiff sought an extension of the April 11, 

2016 filing deadline for his opposition to the law enforcement defendants’ motion for summary 

judgment, but the court already had extended that deadline to May 5, 2016. Plaintiff has not 

shown a sufficient reason to further extend the deadline. Plaintiff reports that he currently is out of 

custody. Now that plaintiff is out of custody, there is no need for the 60-day extension of the 

deadline he requests. If he wants to contact a legal help center, he should do so promptly. His 

suggestion that he might want to do discovery does not warrant any further delay in the briefing 

schedule because he has had many months to do discovery, does not identify what discovery 

remains to be done or explain why he has not yet done it, and does not identify the particular 

evidence he will obtain to avoid summary judgment. Plaintiff’s request to further extend the 

extended deadline for his opposition to the law enforcement defendants’ motion for summary
