IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

LAKEITH L. McCOY,

Plaintiff,

v.

M. GARIKAPARTHI, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 1:13-cv-01495 BAM (PC)

ORDER GRANTING DEFENDANTS’ 

REQUEST FOR EXTENSION OF TIME TO 

RESPOND TO COMPLAINT PENDING 

RULING ON MOTION TO REVOKE IN 

FORMA PAUPERIS STATUS

(ECF No. 25)

Plaintiff LaKeith L. McCoy (“Plaintiff”) is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma 

pauperis in this civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. This action currently proceeds on 

Plaintiff’s first amended complaint against Defendants Garikaparthi, Steiber, Keeler and Chavez 

for violation of Plaintiff’s Eighth Amendment rights arising from the alleged deprivation of 

adequate food.

On November 19, 2015, Defendants filed a motion to revoke Plaintiff’s in forma pauperis 

status or to dismiss this case. (ECF No. 26.) The same day, Defendants also filed a motion to 

request an extension of time to file a response to Plaintiff’s complaint pending a ruling on their 

other motion. (ECF No. 25.) Since the disposition of the motion to revoke Plaintiff’s in forma 

pauperis status or to dismiss this case may obviate the need for a responsive pleading in this case,

Defendants seek an extension of time until 45 days after the Court issues its ruling to respond to 

Plaintiff’s complaint.

Defendants have shown good cause for their requested extension, based on the need to 

conserve resources, time and expenses. Accordingly, it is HEREBY ORDERED that Defendants’ 

motion (ECF No. 25) is GRANTED. Within 45 days after the Court’s order on Defendants’ 

motion to revoke Plaintiff’s in forma pauperis status or to dismiss this case is served, Defendants 

shall file a response to Plaintiff’s complaint.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
