UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

RODNEY JEROME WOMACK,

Plaintiff,

v.

W. GIBBONS, et al.,

Defendants.

No. 1:19-cv-00615-ADA-SAB (PC)

ORDER SETTING DISPOSITIVE MOTION 

DEADLINE: November 28, 2023

Plaintiff is appearing pro se and in forma pauperis in this civil rights action filed pursuant 

to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. 

On October 1, 2021 the instant action was dismissed as a discovery sanction based on 

Plaintiff’s failure to produce discovery. (ECF Nos. 80, 81.)

On October 21, 2021, Plaintiff filed a notice of appeal. On July 3, 2023, the United States 

Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit reversed and remanded the action finding that dismissal 

of the action under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 37 was improper. (ECF No. 98.) Therein, 

the Court noted that Plaintiff “declared that he mailed a signed declaration of the eyewitnesses, 

as well as available medical records, to defendants.” (Id. at 2.) However, Defendants “contended 

that they had not received [Plaintiff’s] prior mailing of medical records.” (Id.)

Based on Plaintiff’s representation that he possessed and previously sent the applicable 

discovery documents to Defendants, which Defendants contend they did not receive, the Court 

ordered Plaintiff to respond to Defendants request for productions, without objection, within 

thirty days of July 13, 2023. (ECF No. 100.) The Court also advised Defendants if Plaintiff 

failed to comply with the order they could file a further motion to compel. (Id.) 

As the thirty days have passed and no motion to compel was filed, the Court will proceed 

with the matter and issues a further scheduling order. Because discovery has previously 

concluded in this action, the only remaining deadline is to file a dispositive motion. 

Accordingly, it is HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. The deadline for filing all dispositive motions (other than a motion for summary 

judgment for failure to exhaust) is November 28, 2023; and

2. In the alternative, the parties are advised that if they both believe a settlement 

conference will be beneficial they may file such request within thirty (30) days from the date of 

service of this order.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: August 28, 2023
