IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JOE ALFRED TAYLOR,

Plaintiff,

v.

AYUB HAROUN, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 1:21-cv-01109-KES-CDB (PC)

ORDER DIRECTING PLAINTIFF TO 

FILE AN OPPOSITION TO THE 

MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT

FILING DEADLINE: JANUARY 9, 2025

Plaintiff Joe Alfred Taylor is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis in

On August 12, 2024, the Court granted Defendants’ motion to modify the Discovery and 

Scheduling Order, extending the dispositive motion filing deadline to October 3, 2024. (Doc. 44.) 

On October 3, 2024, Defendants filed their motion for summary judgment. (Doc. 45.) 

On October 21, 2024, this Court granted Plaintiff’s first request for an extension of time to

On November 18, 2024, Plaintiff filed a second request for an extension of time. (Doc. 

48.) On November 19, 2024, the Court granted Plaintiff’s request and directed Plaintiff to file his 

opposition no later than December 16, 2024. (Doc. 49.) 

Plaintiff did not file an opposition and the deadline for doing so has now passed. 

II. DISCUSSION

Defendants’ motion for summary judgment has been pending nearly four months. The 

Court has granted Plaintiff two extensions of time to file an opposition to Defendants’ motion, 

beyond the initial 21 days provided by Local Rule 230(l), for a total of 74 days. Despite those 

extensions, Plaintiff has failed to file a timely opposition to Defendants’ summary judgment 

motion.

Plaintiff will be afforded one final opportunity to oppose Defendants’ motion. Plaintiff is 

forewarned that should he fail to file an opposition on or before January 9, 2025, no further 

briefing will be accepted, and Defendants’ motion will be deemed submitted without opposition 

on that date. 

III. CONCLUSION AND ORDER

Accordingly, the Court ORDERS that:

1. Plaintiff SHALL file any opposition on or before January 9, 2025; and

2. In the event Plaintiff fails to file an opposition on or before January 9, 2025, no further 

briefing will be accepted and Defendants’ motion for summary judgment will be 

deemed submitted for decision.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
