UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

MAR-NIQUE SIMON, 

Plaintiff, 

v. 

DOMINGO URIBE, 

Defendant. 

Case No. 09-cv-05859-TEH 

ORDER GRANTING PETITIONER’S 

FOURTH REQUEST FOR 

ADDITIONAL TIME TO CONDUCT 

DISCOVERY 

 

This matter is before the Court on Petitioner’s request for a 90-day extension to 

conduct additional discovery regarding the equitable tolling claim at issue in his habeas 

petition. (Docket No. 51). For the foregoing reasons, the Court GRANTS Petitioner’s 

request. 

The Parties are familiar with the history of this case, so the Court here describes 

only relevant recent developments. On September 4, 2014, the Court granted Petitioner’s 

request to conduct additional discovery in order to more fully develop the factual record, 

as instructed by the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. (Docket No. 43). On November 3, 

2014, the Parties filed a joint case management statement informing the Court of 

Petitioner’s progress, and requesting an additional 60 days to conduct discovery. (Docket 

No. 44). That request was granted. (Docket No. 46). On January 5, 2015, Petitioner 

requested an extension of time to pursue the discovery authorized in the September 4 

Order; this request was also granted (Docket Nos. 47, 48). On March 9, 2015, the Court 

received a third request for an extension of time to conduct discovery, which was granted. 

(Docket Nos. 49, 50). On May 11, 2015, the court received this fourth request for an 

extension of time to conduct discovery. (Docket No. 51). 

The Court has been informed that Petitioner is now fit to undergo a 

neuropsychological assessment, as authorized by the September 4, 2014 Order Granting 

Additional Discovery. Joint Statement at 8 (Docket No. 51). This evaluation is scheduled

that complicated attempts to complete earlier assessments, the Court hereby GRANTS 

Petitioner’s request for an additional 90 days to conduct discovery. On or before August 

12, 2015, the parties shall file a joint case management statement informing the Court of 

Petitioner’s progress. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
