IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

DESHAWN MITCHELL,

Plaintiff

v.

M. JONES,

Defendant.

CASE NO. 1:11-cv-00099-LJO-EPG (PC)

ORDER GRANTING DEFENDANT’S 

UNOPPOSED MOTION TO MODIFY 

DISCOVERY AND SCHEDULING ORDER

(ECF NO. 57)

On November 14, 2016, M. Jones (“Defendant”) filed an unopposed motion to modify the 

discovery and scheduling order. (ECF No. 57). Defendant asks the Court to move the deadline 

for filling exhaustion based summary judgment motions from December 1, 2016, to January 31, 

2017. The current deadline is five days before the settlement conference. Defendant asks for the 

extension because the parties are in active settlement negotiations, and filing an exhaustion based 

summary judgment motion five days before the settlement conference could end up being a waste 

of time and resources. Deshawn Mitchell does not oppose Defendant’s motion.

Given that Defendant and Plaintiff are in active settlement negotiations, and given that 

requiring Defendant to file an exhaustion based summary judgment motion five days before the 

settlement conference could be a waste of time and resources, IT IS ORDERED that Defendant’s 

unopposed motion to modify the discovery and scheduling order is GRANTED. 

Defendant has until January 31, 2017, to file an exhaustion based summary judgment 

motion. All other deadlines remain the same.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: November 15, 2016 /s/
