UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

Plaintiff Larry William Cortinas is appearing pro se and in forma pauperis in this civil rights 

action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. 

Now pending before the Court is Defendants’ motion to modify the discovery and scheduling 

order, filed February 27, 2015. Defendants request a stay of discovery until the issue of exhaustion of 

the administrative remedies is resolved. 

On February 13, 2015, Judge Ishii denied Defendants’ motion for summary judgment finding 

that a disputed issue of facts exists, and the matter was referred back to the undersigned for a 

determination on the issue of exhaustion. (ECF No. 54.)

Pursuant to the Court’s July 23, 2014, discovery and scheduling order, the deadline for 

completion of all discovery is March 23, 2015. (ECF No. 20.)
