UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

CARLOS KINKEADE,

Plaintiff,

v.

JEFFREY BEARD, et al.,

Defendants.

No. 2:15-cv-1375 TLN CKD P

ORDER

In this civil rights action by a prisoner proceeding pro se, the current discovery deadline is 

November 18, 2016. (ECF No. 20.) Defendant Oddie has filed a motion to modify the discovery 

and scheduling order, as it appears that plaintiff is in the process of obtaining counsel. (ECF No. 

24; see ECF No. 23.) Under the circumstances, the court will stay discovery for a period of two 

weeks, during which time an attorney may substitute in as plaintiff’s attorney of record in this 

action. See L.R. 182. At the close of the two-week period, if the parties have not stipulated to a 

new discovery and motion schedule, the court will make further orders as needed. 

Accordingly, IT IS SO ORDERED that: 

1. Defendant Oddie’s motion to modify the discovery and scheduling order (ECF No. 24) 

is granted as set forth below; 

2. Discovery in this action is stayed for a period of fourteen (14) days from the date of 

this order;
