UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

Plaintiff Alberto Villescas is appearing pro se and in forma pauperis in this civil rights action 

pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(c), the parties have consented to the 

jurisdiction of the United States Magistrate Judge. ECF No. 34; Local Rule 302.

On November 23, 2015, Plaintiff filed a motion to stay the proceedings in this case. (ECF No. 

68.) On November 25, 2015, Plaintiff filed a third motion for an extension of time to file an 

opposition to Defendants’ pending motion for summary judgment. (ECF No. 71.) 

Plaintiff requests the Court stay all the proceedings in this case because he is currently housed 

in the infirmary at High Desert State Prison. The Court does not find valid justification to stay all the 

proceedings in this case based on Plaintiff’s housing in the infirmary. Based on the nature and extent 

of Plaintiff’s filings, it appears that an extension of the deadline to file an opposition will sufficiently 

meet Plaintiff’s needs.
