UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

MELVIN RAY BRUMMETT JR.,

Plaintiff,

v.

STUART SHERMAN, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 1:20-cv-00622-HBK (PC)

ORDER GRANTING DEFENDANTS’

MOTION TO MODIFY CASE 

MANAGEMENT SCHEDULING ORDER

AND AMEND CERTAIN DEADLINES

(Doc. No. 51)

Pending before the Court is Defendants’ motion to modify certain deadlines in the Case 

Management Scheduling Order, which was filed on October 28, 2024. (Doc. No. 51). 

Specifically, Defendants request the Court to modify the Case Management and Scheduling Order 

by extending the following deadlines: (1) the non-expert discovery completion deadline by 46 

days, to December 22, 2024, but only to allow Defendants to respond to Plaintiff’s Request for 

Production of Documents (Set One) and Interrogatories (Set One) (collectively Plaintiff’s 

discovery requests); and (2) Defendants’ October 29, 2024 deadline to respond to Plaintiff’s 

discovery requests, which would come due on or before December 13, 2024. (Id. at 3). 

Defendants request the extension due to Defendants’ counsel’s current caseload and deadlines. 

(Id. at 5-6). Finding good cause, the Court will grant Defendants’ request to amend the

scheduling order deadlines. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 16(b)(4).
