EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

SEMAJ LEON FRAZIER,

Plaintiff,

v.

DAREN MATTESON, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No.: 1:19-cv-00188-AWI-BAM (PC)

ORDER GRANTING PLAINTIFF’S MOTION 

FOR EXTENSION OF TIME TO FILE 

OBJECTIONS TO FINDINGS AND 

RECOMMENDATIONS

(ECF No. 30)

THIRTY (30) DAY DEADLINE

Plaintiff Semaj Leon Frazier is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis in 

this civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. 

On December 13, 2019, the undersigned issued findings and recommendations 

recommending that this action be dismissed, with prejudice, due to Plaintiff’s failure to state a 

claim upon which relief may be granted. (ECF No. 29.) The findings and recommendations were 

served on Plaintiff and contained notice that any objections thereto were to be filed within 

fourteen (14) days after service. (Id. at 11.)

Currently before the Court is Plaintiff’s motion for an extension of time to file written 

objections to the December 13, 2019 findings and recommendations, filed on December 30, 2019. 

(ECF No. 30.) Plaintiff asserts that he needs additional time to file his objections because the 

prison law library will be closed for the holidays. (Id.)

Having considered the request, the Court finds that Plaintiff has demonstrated good cause
