IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

GREGORY ANDREW HALL, No. CIV S-05-1556-JAM-CMK-P

Plaintiff, 

vs. ORDER

C. PLILER, et al.,

Defendants.

 /

Plaintiff, proceeding pro se, brings this civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. §

1983. On September 5, 2007, the court vacated the remaining dates in the scheduling order, and

discovery remained open, due to several unserved defendants. The court found service

appropriate for three additional defendants, who have now been served and who have appeared in

this action by way of an answer filed June 4, 2008. Accordingly, the court now finds it 1

appropriate to reset a schedule for this litigation pursuant to Rule 16(b) of the Federal Rule of

Civil Procedure.

It appears that plaintiff has been released from prison. Accordingly, at any time

2

during the pendency of this case, any party may request application of other provisions of Local

Rule 78-230 in lieu of Local Rule 78-230(m). Until such request is received and granted, Local

Rule 78-230(m) will continue to govern all motions to dismiss, motions for summary judgment,

motions concerning discovery, and motions pursuant to Rules 7, 11, 12, 15, 41, 55, 56, 59 and 60

of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. 

2

1. Discovery has remained opened. As previously ordered, discovery

requests shall be served by the party seeking the discovery on all parties to the action. Discovery

requests shall not be filed with the court except when required by Eastern District of California

Local Rules 30-250(a), 33-250(c), 34-250(c), and/or 36-250(c). Improperly filed discovery

requests will be disregarded;

2. Responses to written discovery requests shall be due forty-five days after

the request is served;

3. Pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 30(a), defendant(s) may

depose plaintiff and any other incarcerated witness upon condition that, at least 14 days before

such a deposition, all parties are served with the notice required by Federal Rule of Civil

Procedure 30(b)(1);

4. If disputes arise about the parties’ obligations to respond to requests for

discovery, the parties shall comply with all pertinent rules, including Federal Rules of Civil

Procedure 5, 7, 11, 26, and 37 and Eastern District of California Local Rules 5-134, 5-135, 6-

136, 7-130, 7-131, 11-110, 43-142, and 78-230(m); unless otherwise ordered, Local Rule 37-251

shall not apply. Filing a discovery motion that does not comply with all applicable rules may 2

result in imposition of sanctions, including but not limited to denial of the motion;

5. The parties may conduct discovery until November 14, 2008. Any

motions necessary to compel discovery shall be filed by that date. All requests for discovery

pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 30, 31, 33, 34, and 36 shall be served not later than 60 days prior to

this discovery cut-off date;

waiver of opposition to the motion; and

reports on the status of this litigation. Following submission of status reports from all parties, the

court will issue a final scheduling order. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
