DANA MCMASTER,

Plaintiff,

v.

M. E. SPEARMAN, et al.,

Defendants.

_____________________________________/

Case No. 1:10-cv-01407-AWI-SKO (PC)

ORDER ADDRESSING REQUEST FOR 

CLARIFICATION AND SETTING 

PRETRIAL DISPOSITIVE MOTION 

DEADLINE

(Doc. 114)

Discovery Deadline: 12/18/2015

Pretrial Dispositive Motion Deadline: 02/16/2016

Plaintiff Dana McMaster, a former state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis, 

filed this civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 on August 6, 2010. This action is 

proceeding on Plaintiff’s second amended complaint, filed January 3, 2013, against Defendants 

Carlson, Garcia, Sedwick, Espitia, and Pease for failing to protect him, in violation of the Eighth 

Amendment, and against Defendant Carlson for retaliation, in violation of the First Amendment. 

On October 21, 2015, Defendant Pease filed a request for clarification of the order filed on 

October 19, 2015, which granted his motion to compel and extended the discovery deadline sixty 

days. Defendant also seeks a dispositive motion deadline of February 16, 2016, given the 

resolution of his motion to compel and the expiration of the motion deadline during the pendency 

of that motion.
