IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

PETER T. HARRELL, No. CIV S-07-0847-GEB-CMK

Plaintiff, 

vs. ORDER

ADAM ORECK, et al.,

Defendants.

 /

Plaintiff, who is proceeding pro se, brings this action for damages, invoking the

court’s federal question subject matter jurisdiction. Pending before the court is plaintiff’s motion

for an extension of time (Doc. 17) to respond to defendants’ motion to dismiss. Plaintiff seeks a

60-day extension of time. Good cause appearing therefor, the request will be granted. 

Given that defendants’ motion was noticed for hearing on September 25, 2007 –

which is before the extended due date for plaintiff’s response to the motion – the court will

vacate the hearing. Unless the court orders otherwise, defendants’ motion shall be submitted on

the papers without oral argument upon the completion of briefing. See Local Rule 78-230(h). 

The court also finds it appropriate to vacate the initial scheduling conference set

for November 13, 2007, pending resolution of defendants’ motion to dismiss.
