UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

SEAN O’NEAL, 

Plaintiff, 

v. 

AUGUST JOHNSON, et al., 

Defendants. 

No. 2:14-cv-2374 KJN PS (TEMP) 

ORDER 

 On April 25, 2016, plaintiff filed a motion to compel and set the motion for hearing before 

the undersigned on May 26, 2016.1 (Dkt. No. 86.) However, on February 29, 2016, the 

undersigned issued a scheduling order which provided that all discovery in this action must be 

“completed” by May 26, 2016. (Dkt. No. 80 at 8.) That order explained that, in the context of 

discovery: 

‘completed’ . . . means that all discovery shall have been conducted 

so that . . . any disputes relative to discovery shall have been 

resolved by appropriate order if necessary and, where discovery has 

been ordered, the order has been complied with. 

(Id.)

 In this regard, plaintiff’s motion is noticed for hearing on the same day as the deadline for 

the completion of discovery. Even assuming, arguendo, that the court granted plaintiff’s motion, 

there would be insufficient time remaining to allow for defendant’s compliance with the court’s 

order. Accordingly, plaintiff’s motion to compel (Dkt. No. 86) is denied as untimely and will be 

dropped from the court’s May 26, 2016 calendar. 

 IT IS SO ORDERED. 

Dated: May 20, 2016
