UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

Plaintiff Brent Adler (“Plaintiff”) is a former California state prisoner. Plaintiff is proceeding 

pro se and in forma pauperis in this civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983.

The discovery cut off is currently January 7, 2014.

On January 6, 2014, Plaintiff filed a motion to extend time for discovery. 

A scheduling order “may be modified only for good cause,” and by leave of court. Fed. R. 

Civ. P. 16(b)(4). Here, Defendants only recently filed their initial disclosures due to their Motion for 

Reconsideration of the July 29, 2013, Discovery and Scheduling Order. The Motion for 

Reconsideration was denied on November 19, 2013.

Plaintiff states that he received the disclosures on December 13, 2013, and therefore requires 

an extension of the January 7, 2014, discovery deadline.

BRENT ADLER,

 Plaintiff,

GONZALEZ, et al.,

Dispositive Motion Filing Deadline: April 22, 2014 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
