UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

GUILLERMO CHAVEZ,

Plaintiff,

v.

GRANADOZ, et al.,

Defendants.

No. 2:11-cv-1015 WBS CKD P

ORDER

Plaintiff is a California prisoner proceeding pro se with an action for violation of civil 

rights under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. On January 12, 2016, plaintiff filed a motion seeking leave to 

serve requests for discovery. However, discovery closed in this action on September 26, 2014 

(ECF No. 59) and plaintiff has not adequately explained why discovery was not completed before 

then or why he did not seek an extension of the discovery deadline before it expired.

There is a motion for summary judgment pending in this action and the court issued 

findings and recommendations with respect to that motion on January 8, 2016. To the extent 

plaintiff now asks that the court vacate the court’s findings and recommendations pursuant to 

Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 56(d), so that plaintiff may conduct further discovery, plaintiff’s 

request is denied as plaintiff fails to point to any specific facts which are material to the court’s 

consideration to defendants’ motion for summary judgment which were unavailable to plaintiff

during the discovery period. Furthermore, plaintiff fails to point to those specific material facts 

he reasonably expects to obtain through further discovery.

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. Plaintiff’s request for leave to serve further discovery requests (ECF No. 85) is denied.

2. Plaintiff’s request that the court vacate the findings and recommendations issued 

January 8, 2016 is denied.

Dated: January 27, 2016
