UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

LEROY MANNING, 

Plaintiff,

v.

JULIE KELLY,

Defendant.

Case No. 1:12-cv-01621-LJO-SAB-PC

ORDER GRANTING DEFENDANT’S 

FIRST MOTION TO MODIFY THE 

DISCOVERY AND SCHEDULING ORDER

(ECF No. 77)

Dispositive Motion Deadline:

December 9, 2016

Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis pursuant to 42 U.S.C. 

§ 1983. This matter was referred to a United States Magistrate Judge pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 

636(1)(B) and Local Rule 302. 

 Currently before the Court is Defendant’s first motion to modify the discovery and 

scheduling order, seeking to extend the dispositive motion deadline by twenty-one (21) days. 

(ECF No. 77.) The motion is supported by a declaration from defense counsel, explaining 

counsel has diligently worked on researching and drafting a motion, but requires additional time 

to analyze Plaintiff’s medical records and other relevant documents and to consult on edits and 

revisions. Defense counsel has also been delayed by a leave of absence, a medication in another 

matter, and another deadline.
