UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

DANIEL R. PEREZ,

Plaintiff,

v.

KEN CLARK, et al.,

Defendants.

 /

CASE NO. 1:08-cv-00466-OWW-SMS PC

ORDER GRANTING IN PART PLAINTIFF’S

MOTION TO MODIFY THE SCHEDULING

ORDER

(Doc. 38.)

Amended Discovery Deadline!06/13/2010

Amended Dispositive Motion Deadline!09/24/2010

Plaintiff Daniel R. Perez (“plaintiff”) is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma

pauperis in this civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. On February 26, 2010, Plaintiff

filed a motion for postponement of the scheduling order deadlines based on his being transferred to

Kern Valley State Prison, on December 24, 2009, and not having received his personal property as

of the date the motion was filed. (Doc. 38.) Defendants did not file an opposition. Plaintiff requests

that all remaining deadlines be extended five to six months. Plaintiff has previously received a thirty

day extension of the discovery deadline, and does not state why he feels an extension of five to six

months length is required. The Court understands that inmates have difficulty obtaining their

personal property after being transferred. However, since approximately two and a half months have

already passed since Plaintiff’s transfer, it does not appear that a five or six month extension is called

for at this time. Thus, the Court finds that Plaintiff has shown good cause for an few month

extension of the discovery deadline and dispositive motion deadline, but not for a five to six month

extension. Fed. R. Civ. P. 16(b).
