IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

CHRISTOPHER JACKSON,

Plaintiff,

v.

J. WALKER, et al. ,

Defendants.

2:06-cv-2023 WBS-GGH P

ORDER GRANTING

DEFENDANTS’ MOTION TO

MODIFY SCHEDULING ORDER

AND ORDER EXTENDING

DISCOVERY DEADLINE AND

DEADLINE TO FILE AND SERVE

PRETRIAL MOTIONS

Despite the court’s caution in the March 18, 2008, scheduling order that

requests for extension of time would not be looked on with favor, both plaintiff and

defendants seek a modification of the order, in the form of a sixty-day extension of the

August 1, 2008, discovery cutoff. Citing Fed. R. Civ. P. 16(b)(4), defendants also ask for

a thirty-day extension of the deadline to file and serve pretrial motions. In light of the

separate reasons set forth by plaintiff and defendants for a similar modification, the court

will modify the order.

Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that plaintiff’s May 30, 2008 (#74) request

and defendants’ June 6, 2008 (#76) motion are granted. The parties may conduct

discovery until October 1, 2008, any motions to compel discovery shall be filed by that

date, and all requests for discovery pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 31, 33, 34 or 36 shall be

served no later than sixty days prior to that date. All pretrial motions, except motions to

compel discovery, shall be filed on or before January 19, 2009.

Dated: 06/12/08 /s/ Gregory G. Hollows
