Plaintiff is a state, prisoner proceeding pro se. On April 3, 2020, plaintiff filed motions 

for an extension of time and to stay these proceedings. Plaintiff states that due to the current 

COVID-19 pandemic, California Health Care Facility is on modified program. Such program 

deprives plaintiff of law library access, which means he is unable to use the ADA word processor, 

and can only access legal authorities by using the paging system.

proposed second amended complaint. This case is presently under review by the district court.

institution remains on modified program once the district court addresses the findings and 

recommendations, plaintiff may renew his motion for extension at that time. 

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. Plaintiff’s motion for an extension of time (ECF No. 22) is denied without prejudice;

and

2. Plaintiff’s motion for stay (ECF No. 23) is denied without prejudice.
