IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

RAJ CHRISTOPHER GUPTA,

Plaintiff, No. CIV S-03-0393 MCE KJM P

vs.

HAROLD FREDERIC GREEN, et al.,

Defendant. ORDER

 /

Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding pro se with an action for violation of civil

right under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. On May 27, 2005, the court recommended that this action be

dismissed for plaintiff’s failure to file a pretrial statement. Plaintiff has filed objections to the

findings and recommendations. Good cause appearing, the findings and recommendations will

be vacated.

Defendants have asked for an extension of time to file a motion for summary

judgment. The parties will be given thirty days within which to file their motions.

On May 25, 2005, plaintiff filed a motion to compel discovery. On January 31,

2005, plaintiff was informed that all motions to compel had to be filed by March 18, 2005. 

Plaintiff has not provided any reason justifying the reopening of discovery. See Fed. R. Civ. P

6(a). Therefore, his motion will be denied.
