UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

EDDIE HAMILTON, 

 Plaintiff,

v.

J. QUINONEZ, et al., 

 Defendants.

Case No. 1:14-cv-01216-LJO-MJS (PC) 

ORDER SETTING DISPOSITIVE 

MOTIONS DEADLINE OF DECEMBER 

15, 2016

Plaintiff, a state prisoner currently incarcerated at the Correctional Training 

Facility in Soledad, California, proceeds pro se and in forma pauperis in this civil rights 

action brought pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. The case proceeds on Plaintiff’s first 

amended complaint against Defendants J. Quinonez and E. Lozano on Plaintiff’s Eighth

Amendment failure to protect claim. (ECF No. 9.)

Pursuant to the Court’s Discovery and Scheduling Order, the original deadline to

file dispositive motions in this case was December 3, 2015. (ECF No. 15.) On motion 

by Defendants, that deadline was extended to July 15, 2016. (ECF No. 35.)

On September 20, 2016, the Court issued an order granting in part and denying 

in part Defendants’ second motion to compel discovery. (ECF No. 40.) Therein, the 

Court ordered Defendants to file further motions to compel, if any, within fourteen days. 

Id. The Court also granted Defendants’ request to stay the dispositive motion deadline

pending the resolution of the outstanding discovery issues. Fed. R. Civ. P. 16(b)(4); 

Johnson v. Mammoth Recreations, Inc., 975 F.2d 604, 609 (9th Cir. 1992) (a court may 

modifying its scheduling order upon a showing of good cause).

Since the fourteen-day deadline to file a motion to compel has passed without 

any motion having been filed, it appears outstanding discovery disputes have been

resolved.

Accordingly, the Court sets a December 15, 2016 deadline for filing dispositive 

motions. No extensions of time will be granted absent a showing of good cause.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
