IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

ORDER GRANTING REQUEST TO

CONTINUING CASE

MANAGEMENT CONFERENCE

In a letter dated October 21, 2005 in opposition to the motion by defendants City and

County of San Francisco and Junko Craft (collectively “Defendants”) for summary judgment,

pro se plaintiff Alba Ingram requests a continuance for the purpose of taking additional

depositions. On October 24, 2005, the Court received a letter from Defendants objecting to the

request for a continuance. The Court construes Plaintiff’s letter as a request for a continuance

pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 56(f). The Court GRANTS Ingram’s request for a

continuance to provide her with a limited opportunity to conduct further discovery. 

Although fact discovery has been closed as of August 26, 2005, because Ingram is

proceeding pro se and has not been able to retain legal counsel, the Court will extend the

discovery deadline for the sole purpose of enabling Ingram to obtain discovery on the witnesses

listed in her letter dated October 21, 2005. This limited discovery shall be completed no later

than December 9, 2005. In order to oppose Defendants’ motion on the merits, Plaintiff shall

IT IS SO ORDERED.
