UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

TIMOTHY RAY BAKER, 

Plaintiff, 

v. 

J. MACOMBER, et al., 

Defendants. 

No. 2:15-cv-0248 GEB AC P 

ORDER 

 Plaintiff has filed a motion for extended time to file and serve a response to defendant’s 

August 29, 2016 motion for summary judgment, based on plaintiff’s need to obtain additional 

discovery. 

 Significantly, sole defendant Correctional Officer J. McCowan filed his motion for 

summary judgment only a few weeks after this court granted plaintiff’s request to reopen 

discovery and postpone the filing of dispositive motions. See ECF No. 45. The court reopened 

discovery for the limited purpose of permitting plaintiff to serve his outstanding discovery 

requests on defendant’s counsel by August 12, 2016, and for defendant to serve “all of his 

responses to plaintiff’s discovery requests” by September 30, 2016. Id. at 2. The court accorded 

plaintiff until October 28, 2016 to file and serve any necessary motion to compel discovery. 

Finally, the court extended the dispositive motion deadline to March 31, 2017. Id.
