UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

DENELL CAVER,

Plaintiff,

v.

E. GOMEZ, et al.,

Defendants.

_____________________________________/

Case No. 1:11-cv-01025-AWI-SKO (PC)

ORDER DENYING PLAINTIFF’S MOTION 

FOR EXTENSION OF TIME TO FILE 

OBJECTIONS AS PREMATURE

(Doc. 79)

Plaintiff Denell Caver (“Plaintiff”), a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma 

pauperis, filed this civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 on June 20, 2011. This action 

is proceeding on Plaintiff’s second amended complaint, filed on April 10, 2012, against 

Defendants Gomez, Stark, and Garcia (“Defendants”) for acting with deliberate indifference to 

Plaintiff’s safety, in violation of the Eighth Amendment of the United States Constitution.

On February 13, 2015, Plaintiff filed a motion notifying the Court of delays in receiving 

mail and requesting a thirty-day extension of time to file objections to the future findings and 

recommendations addressing Defendants’ motion for summary judgment. The Court is aware of 

the delays inherent in service by mail, which are compounded by the institutional setting. For this 

reason, parties are generally given twenty or thirty days to file objections in cases such as this. If 

Plaintiff needs an extension of time to file objections once findings and recommendations are 

issued, he may file a motion at that time.
