[Proposed] Order (2:11-CV-02317 TLN AC P) 

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

ROBERT BENYAMINI, 

Plaintiff,

v. 

M.C. HAMMER, et al., 

Defendants.

Case No. 2:11-CV-02317 TLN AC P 

ORDER 

Defendants move to modify the court’s Discovery and Scheduling Order so as to extend the 

discovery deadline from January 6, 2015 to February 20, 2015. ECF No. 70. Defendants have 

properly supported this request, and it will be granted to the degree set forth below. 

Plaintiff moves for a 60-day extension of time to answer unidentified discovery requests 

made by defendants. ECF No. 71. The court cannot grant this request because plaintiff has not 

identified what discovery requests he needs more time to answer. If plaintiff is requesting an 

open-ended order granting him an additional 60-days to any discovery that may be requested, the 

court will not grant such an order. Instead, the court will extend the discovery deadline. If this 

does not provide plaintiff the relief he seeks, he is free to make a motion setting forth what 

specific discovery he needs an extension of time to answer.
