ORDER FURTHER EXTENDING

DEADLINES AND REQUIRING

STATUS REPORT 

[Re: ECF No. 24]

The defendants' second request for an extension of the deadline to file their motion for summary

judgment or other dispositive motion is GRANTED. (ECF No. 24.) The court now sets the

following new briefing schedule for motions for summary judgment and other dispositive motions:

No later than January 15, 2016, the defendants must file and serve any motion for summary

judgment or other dispositive motion. No later than February 12, 2016, the plaintiff must file and

serve his opposition to the motion for summary judgment or other dispositive motion. No later than

February 26, 2016, the defendants must file and serve their reply brief, if any. 

The reason for the defendants’ requested extension of the deadline is that the plaintiff is

unavailable for a deposition because he is currently housed in a mental health crisis bed, as he has

been since July 2015. So that the court may determine whether some other approach is preferable to

COURT

For the Northern District of California

repeated extensions of the deadlines, the court requests that defense counsel provide a short status

report no later than December 11, 2015, explaining whether the plaintiff is still in the mental health

crisis bed (or other housing situation that precludes his deposition) and whether there is any

expected time for his return to a custody status that would allow him to be deposed and prosecute

this action. See generally Davis v. Walker, 745 F.3d 1303, 1310-12 (9th Cir. 2014) (discussing

considerations for protecting the interests of the incompetent litigant). 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
