UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

LARRY GIRALDES, 

Plaintiff, 

v. 

K.M. PORTER, et al., 

Defendants. 

No. 2:12-cv-0662-KJM-EFB P 

ORDER 

Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding without counsel in an action brought under 42 

U.S.C. § 1983. On July 17, 2013, the court issued its discovery and scheduling order. ECF No. 

28. On July 23, 2013, plaintiff requested that all dates in the schedule be stayed because he is 

housed in administrative segregation. Plaintiff’s request is construed as a request to modify the 

court’s scheduling order. So construed, the request (ECF No. 29) is denied. 

A scheduling order may be modified upon a showing of good cause. Fed. R. Civ. P. 

16(b). Good cause exists when the moving party demonstrates he cannot meet the deadline 

despite exercising due diligence. Johnson v. Mammoth Recreations, Inc., 975 F.2d 604, 609 (9th 

Cir. 1992). Plaintiff’s placement in administrative segregation, without more, is not a sufficient 

basis for modifying the dates established by the scheduling order. 

So ordered. 

Dated: October 15, 2013.
