No. 1:07-CV-00594-SMM

ORDER

After the Court ordered Plaintiff to show cause, defense counsel immediately

responded by letter indicating that Plaintiff’s response is not yet late (Dkt. 47). Defense

counsel reminds the Court that it extended both the time for Defendants to file their motion

for summary judgment and the time for Plaintiff to file his response. Defendants then filed

their motion for summary judgment on February 24, 2010, but Plaintiff was not served until

March 19, 2010. Defendants had sent copies of the motion and related documents to Plaintiff

by first class mail, but the mail was returned to sender as “Unclaimed.” Defense counsel

contacted the litigation coordinator at Coalinga State Hospital who stated that for some

reason, the mail delivery was not made. Defendants attach proof of service that Plaintiff was

then personally served on March 19, 2010. The Court finds that Plaintiff has not yet delayed

in his response. The Court also finds good cause to extend the time for Plaintiff to file his

response due to the deadline confusion and the lack of service of Defendants’ motion until

March 19, 2010.
