UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

JERMAINE PADILLA, 

Plaintiff, 

v. 

JEFFREY BEARD, et al., 

Defendants. 

No. 2:14-cv-1118 KJM CKD 

ORDER 

The court is in receipt of the parties’ motions for summary judgment (ECF Nos. 

128, 129). The motions are noticed for hearing on August 12, 2016, which is not an available law 

and motion date. Accordingly, the hearing on the motions is RESET for September 2, 2016 at 

10:00 a.m. in Courtroom 3 before District Judge Kimberly J. Mueller, and the deadline to hear 

dispositive motions is extended to that date. Filing deadlines are reset as provided by Local 

Rule 230. 

On July 15, 2016, defendants filed an ex-parte application for a two-day extension 

to file their memorandum of points and authorities in support of their motion due to technical 

difficulties. ECF No. 130. Defendants filed the proposed memorandum on July 17, 2016. ECF 

No. 132. Plaintiff opposes the extension, arguing that he would be prejudiced by having two 

fewer days to prepare an opposition brief. ECF No. 134. He also argues the extension would

give defendants an unfair advantage, because they received plaintiff’s moving papers before filing 

their own papers. Id. 

In the interest of resolving the matter on the merits, and because there is no 

evidence of bad faith, the court GRANTS defendants’ request for a two-day extension and deems 

the proposed memorandum (ECF No. 132) filed. In light of the continuance of the hearing until 

September 2, 2016, plaintiff will have ample time to prepare an opposition brief. To avoid any 

prejudice, the court permits either party to file an amended memorandum in support of summary 

judgment no later than August 5, 2016, twenty-eight days before the new hearing date. 

IT IS SO ORDERED. 

DATED: July 20, 2016
