BERNARD HAMILTON,

Plaintiff,

 v.

G. THOMPSON, et al.,

Defendants. /

No. C 09-0648 CW (PR)

ORDER GRANTING IN PART AND

DENYING IN PART DEFENDANTS'

REQUEST FOR AN EXTENSION OF

TIME TO FILE ANSWER AND

DISPOSITIVE MOTION; AND SETTING

BRIEFING SCHEDULE

Defendants request a thirty-day extension of time to file an

answer to the second amended complaint. In its March 22, 2010

Order of Service, the Court stated: "Defendants will not be

required to serve and file an answer before sixty (60) days from

the date on which the request for waiver was sent." (Mar. 22, 2010

Order at 7.) The request for waiver was sent on March 25, 2010;

therefore, the answer was due on May 25, 2010. Defendants' request

for a thirty-day extension of time to file their answer would have

resulted in a new deadline of June 24, 2010.

Defendants also ask the Court to extend the deadline to file a

dispositive motion to ninety days from the date Defendants' answer

is filed. 

Having read and considered Defendants' request and the

accompanying declaration of counsel, and good cause appearing, 

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Defendants' requests for extensions

of time to file an answer and a dispositive motion are GRANTED in

part and DENIED in part. 

Because the requested deadline to file an answer has passed,

the Court GRANTS Defendants a brief extension, until July 23, to

file their answer. The deadline to file a dispositive motion will

be extended for the requested ninety days from the date the answer

should have been filed. 

Accordingly, Defendants' answer must be filed no later than

July 23, 2010. Defendants' dispositive motion must be filed no

later than September 24, 2010. Plaintiff's opposition to the

dispositive motion shall be filed with the Court and served on

Defendants no later than sixty (60) days after the date Defendants'

motion is filed. If Defendants wish to file a reply brief, they

shall do so no later than fifteen (15) days after the date

Plaintiff's opposition is filed. 

This Order terminates Docket no. 25.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
