Defendants.

Case No. 15-cv-04357-JSC 

ORDER GRANTING EXTENSION 

OF TIME; DENYING MOTION 

FOR PRODUCTION OF 

DOCUMENTS; DENYING 

MOTION FOR LEAVE TO 

AMEND

Re: Dkt. Nos. 27, 28, 31

Plaintiff, a state prisoner at Corcoran State Prison, filed this pro se civil rights action under 

42 U.S.C. § 1983. He has filed an amended complaint against officials at Salinas Valley State 

Prison, where he was formerly housed. The amended complaint supersedes the original complaint 

and is now the operative complaint. Defendants have filed a motion for summary judgment, and 

Plaintiff has filed an opposition. Defendants’ reply brief remains due. 

Plaintiff has also filed a motion for leave to amend the complaint further to add state law 

claims against a new Defendant --- James Beard, the Secretary of the Department of Corrections 

and Rehabilitation. This motion is DENIED without prejudice to re-filing after the pending 

motion for summary judgment is resolved. If summary judgment is denied and there remain 

federal claims against the current Defendants, then the Court may exercise supplemental 

jurisdiction over Plaintiff’s state law claims 28 U.S.C. § 1367(a). If the summary judgment 

motion is granted and no more federal claims remain, the Court will not exercise supplemental 

jurisdiction over Plaintiff’s state law claims and he may bring them in state court. See 28 U.S.C. § 

1367(c)(3) (district court may decline supplemental jurisdiction over state law claims when all

claims over which it has original jurisdiction have been dismissed). 

Good cause appearing, Defendants’ motion for an extension of time to file a reply brief, to
