UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

LLOYD WHITE, 

Plaintiff, 

v. 

SACRAMENTO PUBLIC DEFENDER’S 

OFFICE, et al., 

Defendants. 

No. 2:14-cv-1289 TLN AC P 

ORDER 

 Plaintiff, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, has filed a civil rights action seeking relief 

under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. On October 2, 2014, the court recommended a summary dismissal of 

plaintiff’s complaint and this action, granting plaintiff twenty-one days to file objections. ECF 

No. 10. Plaintiff has not filed objections, instead seeking a six-month stay or continuance to 

“present a meaningful case.” ECF No. 11. In recommending the summary dismissal of this 

action, the undersigned made clear that she could discern no manner in which the complaint’s 

defects could be cured by amendment. In the pending request, plaintiff does not dispute this 

finding or address it in any fashion whatever. Rather, plaintiff complains that while he was 

housed in jail in Sacramento County he was denied access to the law library. He states that now 

that he is in special needs custody in reception in state prison, he has only been allowed two visits 

to the library.

 Plaintiff provides no colorable basis for a stay or continuance. The court will construe 

plaintiff’s request as one for an extension of time to file objections to the recommendation for 

summary dismissal, which the court will permit. 

 Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that: 

1. Plaintiff’s request for a stay or continuance, ECF No. 11, construed as a request for an 

extension of time, is granted; 

2. Plaintiff is granted sixty days to file objections to the findings and recommendations 

filed on October 2, 2014; (ECF No. 10) and 

3. There will be no further extension of time. 

DATED: November 4, 2014
