IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

ERNEST MAEA,

Plaintiff,

v.

CHRISTIAN PFEIFFER, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 1:22-cv-00362-KES-HBK

ORDER GRANTING EXTENSIONS TO 

CASE MANAGEMENT AND 

SCHEDULING DEADLINES

(Doc. No. 65)

Pending before the Court is the parties’ joint motion seeking to modify certain deadlines in 

the already modified Case Management and Scheduling Order filed December 9, 2024. (Doc. 

No. 65). Due to the recent ruling on Defendants’ exhaustion-based motion for summary 

judgment, the parties seek a further extension to the discovery and dispositive motion deadlines. 

The parties also require additional time to depose plaintiff, who is incarcerated, and wish to 

schedule mediation. The Court finds good cause to grant a further extension. Fed. R. Civ. P. 

16(b)(4). 

ACCORDINGLY, it is hereby ORDERED: 

1. The parties’ joint motion (Doc. No. 65) is GRANTED to the extent set forth below.

a. The deadline to complete non-expert discovery is extended to May 7, 2025;
