NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

TONEY ALFONSO JOHNSON,

Plaintiff,

v.

CORRECTIONAL OFFICER ECHANO, 

et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 14-cv-04166-YGR (PR)

ORDER DENYING PLAINTIFF’S 

MOTION TO COMPEL DISCOVERY;

AND GRANTING HIS REQUEST FOR 

EXTENSION OF TIME TO FILE 

OPPOSITION TO DEFENDANTS’

MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT

Before the Court are Plaintiff’s motion to compel discovery (Dkt. 16) and request for an 

extension of time in which to file his opposition to Defendants’ Motion for Summary Judgment

(Dkt. 19). Defendants have opposed Plaintiff’s motion to compel, but “in the spirit of 

cooperation,” they explained that they “either have already produced some of the records Plaintiff 

is seeking, or are in the process of obtaining records in response to some of Plaintiff’s requests.” 

Dkt. 17 at 2. Since filing his motion to compel, as mentioned above, Plaintiff has now requested 

for an extension of time to file his opposition. However, Plaintiff no longer mentions his need for 

any of the discovery requests in his previously-filed motion to compel. Plaintiff only claims that 

he needs a sixty-day extension of time to file his opposition because the prison is “constantly on 

lockdown status.” Dkt. 19 at 2.

Having read and considered the papers filed in relation to Plaintiff’s requests, and good 

cause appearing, 

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Plaintiff’s request for an extension of time to file his 

opposition is GRANTED. Dkt. 19. And for the reasons stated in Defendants’ opposition papers, 

(Dkt. 17 at 2-3), Plaintiff’s motion to compel certain discovery (Dkt. 16) is DENIED. 

The time in which Plaintiff may file his opposition to Defendants’ Motion for Summary 

Judgment will be extended up to and including December 14, 2015.
