United States District Court

Northern District of California

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

MARIO TORRES,

Plaintiff,

v.

DIANE BECTON, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 19-cv-06865-MMC 

ORDER VACATING OCTOBER 27

ORDER OF DISMISSAL; GRANTING 

REQUEST FOR EXTENSION OF TIME

TO FILE SECOND AMENDED 

COMPLAINT

Before the Court is Mario Torres’s “Request for Extension of Time 

Reconsideration,” filed November 4, 2020, which the Court construes as a motion, 

pursuant to Rule 60(b) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, for relief from the Court’s 

Order of October 27, 2020 (“October 27 Order”), denying plaintiff’s request for a 90-day 

extension of time and dismissing the above-titled action for failure to file a timely Second 

Amended Complaint. 

The Court, having read and considered the motion, finds plaintiff has made a 

sufficient showing under Rule 60(b), specifically, his recent discovery of Google Scholar, 

which he anticipates he will be able to use, during the COVID-19 pandemic, to conduct 

legal research necessary for the filing of a Second Amended Complaint.

Accordingly, the October 27 Order is hereby VACATED, plaintiff’s Request for 

Extension of Time, filed October 23, 2020, is hereby GRANTED, and the deadline for 

plaintiff to file a Second Amended Complaint is hereby EXTENDED to January 21, 2021.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: November 10, 2020
