UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JOHN REGINALD MCGATHON,

Plaintiff,

v.

D PETROVIC, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 14-cv-00028-JSC 

ORDER DENYING MOTIONS FOR 

APPOINTMENT OF COUNSEL AND 

FOR EXTENSION OF TIME

Re: Dkt. Nos. 57, 58

Plaintiff, a former California prisoner proceeding pro se, filed this civil rights action under 

42 U.S.C. § 1983 claiming that officials at his former prison, San Quentin State Prison, did not 

properly investigate disciplinary charges against Plaintiff. Defendants’ motion for summary 

judgment was granted, judgment was entered and the case was terminated. Plaintiff has filed a 

motion for an extension of time to “respond” to the Order granting summary judgment (Dkt. No. 

57). No such response is necessary, nor is one authorized by local rule or the Federal Rules of 

Civil Procedure. Plaintiff may file a notice of appeal or seek leave to file a motion for 

reconsideration, but he has not explained why he needs an extension of time to do so. Plaintiff’s 

motion is DENIED. As judgment has been entered and this case has been closed, Plaintiff’s 

motion for appointment of counsel (Dkt. No. 58) is also DENIED. If Plaintiff pursues an appeal, 

he may seek such appointment in the United States Court of Appeals. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: October 20, 2015
