UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JESSIE L. SERRANO,

Plaintiff,

v.

SCOTT RAWERS, et al.,

Defendants.

CASE NO. 1:11-cv-00399-LJO-MJS (PC)

ORDER GRANTING MOTION TO MODIFY 

DISCOVERY AND SCHEDULING ORDER

(ECF No. 43)

Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis in this civil 

rights action brought pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. The action proceeds against 

Defendant Lucas on Plaintiff’s Eight Amendment failure to protect claim. (ECF No. 11.)

On June 16, 2014, the Court issued a discovery and scheduling order, setting 

February 16, 2015 as the discovery deadline. (ECF No. 30.) On September 16, 2014, 

Defendant filed a motion for summary judgment on the ground Plaintiff failed to exhaust 

his administrative remedies. (ECF No. 34.) On January 7, 2015, Defendant filed a motion 

to modify the discovery and scheduling order by vacating the deadline for taking 

depositions and resetting it, if necessary, after the Court rules on the pending motion for 

summary judgment. (ECF No. 43.)

Defendant has presented good cause for modifying the discovery and scheduling 

order. Accordingly, Defendant’s motion (ECF No. 43) is HEREBY GRANTED. The
