IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

SACRAMENTO DIVISION

ROBERT COLEMAN,

Plaintiff,

v.

CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF 

CORRECTIONS AND 

REHABILITATION, et al.,

Defendants.

2:13-cv-1021-JAM-KJN

STIPULATION AND ORDER 

EXTENDING DEADLINE FOR 

DEFENDANTS’ DISCOVERY 

RESPONSES AND DISCOVERY 

DEADLINE

Judge: Honorable Kendall J. Newman

Action Filed: May 22, 2013

Under Federal Rules of Civil Procedure 6(b)(1)(A) and Local Rules 143 and 144, the 

parties have met and conferred and stipulate to a thirty-one day extension, up to and including 

April 29, 2016, for Defendants to respond to Plaintiff’s discovery requests, including Plaintiff’s 

interrogatories, request for admissions, and request for production of documents. The current 

deadline is March 29, 2016. The parties further stipulate to extend the current discovery deadline 

from April 22, 2016, to May 15, 2016 (ECF No. 82 ¶ 6.) 

When an act must be done within a specified time, the court may, for good cause, extend 

the time with or without motion or notice if the court acts, or if a request is made, before the 

original time expires. Fed. R. Civ. P. 6(b)(1)(A). Good cause exists to grant this extension

because, despite defense counsel’s diligence, she will not be able to respond to Plaintiff’s 

discovery requests by the current due date of March 29, 2016. Defense counsel has been working 

diligently with the Litigation Coordinator at California State Prison-Sacramento (SAC), however, 

SAC is not able to copy and produce potentially responsive documents by that date. Further, 

upon receipt of those documents, Defendants’ counsel will need additional time to review them, 

potentially prepare a privilege log, a supporting declaration, and then prepare them for 

production. Defendants need an additional thirty days to respond to Plaintiff’s discovery 

requests, which is one-week after the discovery deadline, and the parties have agreed to this 

extension. 

After the Plaintiff receives and reviews Defendants’ discovery responses, he may need time 

to prepare a motion to compel further discovery, therefore, the parties stipulate to an extension of

the current discovery deadline, from April 22, 2016, until May 15, 2016. This short extension 

will not affect the dispositive motion deadline, which is the only remaining scheduled deadline. 

(ECF No. 82.) 

Accordingly, the parties stipulate that Defendants’ deadline for responding to Plaintiff’s 

January 13, 2016, interrogatories, requests for admissions, and a request for documents will be 

April 29, 2016, and the discovery deadline will be extended to May 15, 2016. 

IT IS SO STIPULATED:
