IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JAMES LEOS,

Plaintiff,

v.

C. RASEY, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 1:14-cv-02029-LJO-JLT

ORDER GRANTING DEFENDANTS’ 

MOTION FOR A STAY OF DISCOVERY

(Doc. 26)

In their request, Defendants note that they are preparing a motion for summary judgment 

based upon their claim that Plaintiff has failed to exhaust his administrative remedies and has 

failed to comply with California’s Tort Claims Act. (Doc. 26 at 1-2) Defendants believe this 

motion will dispose of most of the claims and which will allow streamlined discovery directed 

toward only to the remaining topics. Id. Good cause appearing, the Court ORDERS:

1. Defendant’ motion for summary judgment SHALL be filed no later than March 29, 

2016;

2. Pending a determination on the merits of Defendants’ motion, discovery action is 

stayed. Except for discovery requests that address exhaustion of the 

administrative remedies or compliance with California’s Tort Claims Act, the

parties SHALL NOT be obligated to respond to any pending discovery requests,

3. The Court will issue an amended Discovery and Scheduling Order when it lifts the
