UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

EDWIN VALENCIA,

Plaintiff,

v.

L. MACHADO, et al.,

 Defendants.

No. 1:24-cv-00569-SAB (PC)

ORDER GRANTING PLAINTIFF’S MOTION 

FOR EXTENSION OF TIME 

(ECF No. 17)

Plaintiff is proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis in this action filed pursuant to 42 

U.S.C. § 1983. 

Currently before the Court is Plaintiff’s motion to extend the time to file “objections,” 

filed October 18, 2024. Plaintiff seeks an extension of thirty days to file “objections” to the 

Findings and Recommendations. However, Plaintiff is advised that no Findings and 

Recommendations have been issued. Rather, because this action was referred to the Magistrate 

Judge pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1) and Local Rule 302, and the Court screened Plaintiff’s 

complaint on September 26, 2024, granting Plaintiff leave to file an amended complaint or notify 

the Court of his intent to proceed on the claim found to be cognizable. (ECF No. 16.) Therefore, 

the Court construes Plaintiff’s request as a motion for an extension of time to file a response to 

the Court’s September 26, 2024, screening order.
