ORDER GRANTING MOTION FOR

EXTENSION OF DISCOVERY

DEADLINE

(Doc. 102.)

New Discovery Deadline - 09/17/2010

New Dispositive Motions Deadline - 11/19/2010

Punaofo Tsugito Tilei ("plaintiff") is a state prisoner proceeding pro se with this civil rights

action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. On June 2, 2010, plaintiff filed a motion to extend the discovery

deadline in this action, or in the alternative, to stay this action. (Doc. 102.) Defendants have not filed

an opposition.

A court may modify a scheduling order for good cause. Fed.R.Civ.P 16(b)(4). This good cause

standard “primarily considers the diligence of the party seeking the amendment.” Johnson v. Mammoth

Recreations, Inc., 975 F.2d 604, 609 (9th Cir. 1992). To establish good cause, the party seeking the

modification of a scheduling ordermust generallyshow that even with the exercise of due diligence, they

cannot meet the requirement of the order. Id.

Plaintiff requests a new discovery deadline on the ground that his medical condition causes him

considerable pain and mental suffering, which affects his daily activities. Plaintiff also asserts that he

lacks adequate access to the law library to obtain the materials needed to complete and serve discovery

documents. Good cause appearing, plaintiff's motion shall be granted, and the deadlines for discovery

and for the filing of pretrial dispositive motions shall be extended for all parties to this action.
