IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

STEVEN A. MARTIN,

Plaintiff, No. CIV S-03-0466 FCD JFM P

vs.

CHERYL K. PLILER, et al.,

Defendants. ORDER

 /

Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding pro se with a civil rights action pursuant to

42 U.S.C. § 1983. On December 1, 2005, defendants filed a motion for summary judgment. On

December 21, 2005, plaintiff filed a request pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 56(f) to postpone

consideration of defendant’s motion pending completion of further discovery. On February 14,

2006, defendant filed an opposition to the request. By order filed March 17, 2006, the court

granted in part plaintiff’s Rule 56(f) request. Specifically, the court granted plaintiff a period of

fifteen days to file and serve a list of all documents in plaintiff’s central file necessary to

plaintiff’s opposition to defendant’s motion for summary judgment and directed defendants

within ten days thereafter to either provide plaintiff with a photocopy of each document on said

list or show cause in writing why some or all of the requested copies should not be provided to

plaintiff.

On March 31, 2006, plaintiff filed a response to the March 17, 2006 order. In his

response, plaintiff requests documents in six categories. On April 10, 2006, defendants filed a

response to plaintiff’s March 31, 2006 request. Defendants interpose objections to plaintiff’s

request but also either specifically aver that no responsive documents exist or append responsive

documents to their filing. Defendants also request a period of forty-five days in which to provide

other documents to plaintiff, and they withdraw their opposition to plaintiff’s Rule 56(f) request. 

On April 20, 2006, plaintiff filed a statement of non-opposition to defendants’ request for

extension of time. 

Good cause appearing, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. On or before June 5, 2006, defendants shall provide plaintiff with copies of the

documents pertaining to the reassignment of the B-Facility Law Clerks;

2. Defendants shall not be required to provide any additional documents to

plaintiff in connection with the pending motion for summary judgment;

3. Not later than July 5, 2006, plaintiff shall file and serve an opposition to

defendants’ December 1, 2005 motion for summary judgment;

4. Defendants’ reply, if any, shall be filed and served not later than July 19, 2006;

and

5. No extensions of the deadlines set in this order will be granted.

DATED: May 24, 2006.
