UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

KEVIN ALLEN,

Plaintiff,

v.

V. BENTACOURT, et al.,

Defendants.

No. 1:18-cv-01187 JLT GSA (PC)

ORDER RESETTING CLOSE OF 

DISCOVERY AND DISPOSITIVE MOTION 

DEADLINES

Close of Discovery: August 5, 2024

Dispositive Motions Due: October 4, 2024

Plaintiff, a former state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis, has filed this 

civil rights action seeking relief under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. The matter was referred to a United 

States Magistrate Judge pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B) and Local Rule 302. The matter is 

at the discovery phase of the proceedings.

On August 21, 2023, a discovery and scheduling order was issued in this case. ECF No. 

61. In March 2024, an order served on Plaintiff was returned to the Court as undeliverable. 

Thereafter, in April 2024, because Defendants were uncertain of how to reach Plaintiff they filed 

a motion to modify the scheduling order, which was granted. See ECF Nos. 69, 70 (motion to 

modify; order granting same, respectively). As a result, the April 2024, and June 2024, close of 

discovery and dispositive motion deadline dates were vacated. See ECF No. 70 at 2. New dates 

for them were to be calendared after Plaintiff filed a notice of change of address with the Court.

In May 2024, Plaintiff filed a notice of change of address. Therefore, it is now 

appropriate to calendar new close of discovery and dispositive motion deadline dates. Because 

the parties were well into the discovery process prior to the vacation of these dates, the new ones

will be somewhat truncated. The close of discovery / motion to compel deadline will be sixty 

days from today’s date, and dispositive motions will be due sixty days thereafter.

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. The discovery and dispositive motion deadlines in this case are herein RESET;

2. The new close of discovery / motion to compel deadline shall be August 5, 2024, and

3. The new dispositive motion deadline shall be October 4, 2024.

All other directives in the discovery and scheduling order (ECF No. 61) are to 

remain in full force and effect.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: June 6, 2024 /s/ Gary S. Austin
