IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

GREGORY TABAREZ,

Plaintiff, No. CIV S-04-0360 LKK EFB P

vs.

DIANA BUTLER, et al.,

Defendants. ORDER

 /

Plaintiff is a prisoner without counsel seeking relief for alleged civil rights violations. 

See 42 U.S.C. § 1983. On May 29, 2007, defendant Lemon filed a request for the court to clarify

the May 21, 2007, order in which the court extended the time to take plaintiff’s deposition. 

Defendant requests the court to include setting a time for filing dispositive motions. For the

reasons explained, the request is granted. 

Pursuant the January 27, 2006, scheduling order, discovery closed May 26, 2006, and

dispositive motions were to be filed no later than July 21, 2006. As the result of a procedural

history involving several defendants represented by different counsel, the court on May 21,

2007, for the second time extended defendant Max Lemon’s time to take plaintiff’s deposition. 

However, the court did not set a time for filing dispositive motions. On June 4, 2007, he filed a

motion for summary judgment.
