UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

IN AND FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

ERIC ANTHONY ALSTON, JR.,

 Plaintiff,

vs.

COUNTY OF SACRAMENTO, et al.,

 Defendants.

CASE NO: 2:18-cv-02420-TLN-CKD (PS)

[PROPOSED] ORDER ON DEFENDANTS’ 

REQUEST FOR EXTENSION OF TIME TO 

FILE A RESPONSIVE PLEADING

This matter is proceeding on the original complaint. (Doc. 1). The Ninth Circuit reversed the 

dismissal of pro se Plaintiff Alston’s negligence claims against defendants Deputy Ball, Deputy 

Madriago, and the County of Sacramento, and reversed the dismissal of Plaintiff’s excessive force, 

Bane Act, battery, and negligence claims against defendant Deputy Riviera. Those claims are 

remanded to this Court for further proceedings. (Doc. 92). Responding Defendants were ordered to 

answer the operative complaint at Doc. 1 on or before May 19, 2023. (See Doc. 92).

Plaintiff Alston subsequently filed a motion for leave to amend the complaint, to add 

additional claims and defendants. (Doc. Nos. 93, 94). Defendants now request an extension of time 

in which to respond to the operative complaint, up to and including thirty (30) days after the order 

on Plaintiff’s motion for leave to file an amended complaint.
