On June 23, 2015, Defendants Marroquin, Sweetser, Pair, Anderson, Sulier, and Rodriguez 

filed a motion for summary on the grounds that Plaintiff failed to exhaust his administrative remedies, 

along with a request to stay discovery pending a ruling on the exhaustion motion. (ECF Nos. 70, 71.) 

On July 9, 2015, the Court granted Defendants’ request to stay discovery, and all merits-based 

discovery was stayed pending a ruling on the motion for summary judgment relating to exhaustion of 

the administrative remedies. (ECF No. 72.) 

On July 13, 2015, Plaintiff filed a cross-motion for summary judgment on the merits of his 

claims. (ECF No. 73.) On July 20, 2015, Defendants filed a request to stay briefing on Plaintiff’s 

cross-motion for summary judgment pending a ruling on the exhaustion motion, and the Court granted 

Defendants’ request on July 22, 2015. (ECF Nos. 77, 80.)

On July 17, 2015, Defendant Pelayo filed an answer to the complaint. In light of the fact that 

Defendant Pelayo has now answered the complaint, it is HEREBY ORDERED the discovery and 

scheduling order is extended to Defendant Pelayo. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
