UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

OUSSAMA SAHIBI,

Plaintiff,

v.

BORJAS GONZALES, et al.,

Defendants.

CASE No. 1:15-cv-01581-LJO-MJS (PC)

ORDER GRANTING JOINT MOTION TO 

MODIFY THE DISCOVERY AND 

SCHEDULING ORDER

(ECF No. 60)

DECEMBER 2, 2016 DISCOVERY CUTOFF

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

rights action brought pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1983. The action proceeds on Plaintiff’s 

Eighth Amendment excessive force claim against Defendants Brandon Cope, Borjas 

Gonzales, Mario Lozano, Howard Smith, and Stan, and on a Fourteenth Amendment 

due process claim against Defendant Crounse. 

On October 4, 2016, Defendant Crounse filed a motion to extend the discovery 

and dispositive motion deadlines for ninety days. (ECF No. 51.) The remaining 

Defendants joined in the motion. (ECF No. 52.) The Court denied the motion on 

November 1, 2016, without prejudice to Defendants filing a limited motion for extension 

of time to take Plaintiff’s deposition. (ECF No. 58.)

Before the Court is Defendants’ joint motion to modify the discovery and 

scheduling order. (ECF No. 60.) Defendants seek to extend the discovery cut-off to 

December 2, 2016 for purposes of taking Plaintiff’s deposition. Defendants have 

contacted Plaintiff’s institution and confirmed their ability to take Plaintiff’s deposition 

within this time period.

Good cause having been shown, Defendants’ motion is HEREBY GRANTED. The 

discovery cut-off is HEREBY EXTENDED to December 2, 2016 for the limited purpose of 

taking Plaintiff’s deposition.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
