UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

EDDIE L. PITTS, 

Plaintiff, 

v. 

C. DAVIS, et al., 

Defendants. 

No. 2:12-cv-0823 TLN AC P 

ORDER 

 Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding pro se with a civil rights action pursuant to 

42 U.S.C. § 1983. 

 On July 23, 2015,1

 plaintiff filed a request for extension of time to file his response to 

defendants’ motion for summary judgment (ECF No. 152) and a motion to withdraw his 

objections to the motion to dismiss and previous motion for extension (ECF No. 153). The 

motions were not entered on the docket until after the court issued an order construing the 

objections as a motion to extend plaintiff’s time to respond until after resolution of the pending 

motion to compel. ECF No. 151. In granting the motion, the court vacated plaintiff’s deadline to 

respond to defendants’ motion for summary judgment and advised it would not be re-set until

 Since plaintiff is proceeding pro se, he is afforded the benefit of the prison mailbox rule.

after the motion to compel had been resolved. Id. The court’s July, 27, 2015 order therefore 

renders plaintiff’s motions moot and they will be denied as such. 

 Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that plaintiff’s motion for extension of time 

(ECF No. 152) and motion to withdraw his previous motions and objections (ECF No. 153) are 

denied as moot.
