UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

ANTHONY NGUYEN,

Plaintiff,

v.

M. D. BITER,

Defendant.

_____________________________________/

Case No. 1:11-cv-00809-AWI-SKO (PC)

ORDER GRANTING MOTION FOR 

EXTENSION OF DISCOVERY DEADLINE,

AND SETTING PRETRIAL DISPOSITIVE 

MOTION AND OPPOSITION DEADLINES

(Docs. 115 and 133)

Discovery Deadline: 06/08/2015

Motion Deadline: 07/20/2015

Plaintiff Anthony Nguyen (“Plaintiff”), a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma 

pauperis, filed this civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 on May 18, 2011. This action 

is proceeding against Defendant M. D. Biter (“Defendant”) for violation of the Eighth Amendment 

of the United States Constitution, a claim which arises from Plaintiff’s allegations that he was 

exposed to arsenic-contaminated water while at Kern Valley State Prison in Delano, California.

1

On September 15, 2014, Plaintiff filed a motion seeking an extension of the discovery 

deadline. Fed. R. Civ. P. 16(b)(4). On February 6, 2015, following the issuance of three orders 

resolving numerous motions and vacating the pretrial dispositive motion deadline pending 

Defendant’s response to Plaintiff’s motion to supplement his complaint, Defendant filed a 

statement of non-opposition to a limited extension of the discovery deadline. Local Rule 230(l).

 

1

Plaintiff is presently incarcerated at California State Prison-Centinela in Imperial.
