UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

ROBERT C. WILLIAMS,

Plaintiff,

v.

RUBEN CASANOVA, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 1:17-cv-00917-JLT (PC)

ORDER GRANTING DEFENDANTS’ 

MOTION TO MODIFY DISCOVERY

AND SCHEDULING ORDER

(Doc. 46)

Dispositive Motion Deadline: 2/7/2020

Defendants move to modify the Court’s discovery and scheduling order (Doc. 37) to 

extend the dispositive motion deadline by 9 days. (Doc. 46.) The current dispositive motion 

deadline is January 29, 2020. (Doc. 37 at 2.) Defendants state the additional time is required to 

complete the motion for summary judgment they intend to file, including finalizing supporting 

declarations. (Doc. 47 at 1, 2.) Defense counsel declares that, despite her diligent efforts, 

preparations for an upcoming trial and deadlines in other matters have prevented her from 

completing the motion by the present deadline. (Id. at 4-5.) The time for Plaintiff to file an 

opposition or statement of non-opposition has not yet passed; however, the Court finds neither 

necessary here and deems the motion submitted.
