Opinion

ROBERT ELLIS, Plaintiff, v. DR. ABDUR-RAHMAN et al., Defendants. No. 2:14-cv-0852 DAD P United States District Court, E.D. California. August 20, 2015

          ORDER

          DALE A. DROZD, Magistrate Judge.

         On July 20, 2015, this court granted defendant Ellis' motion to modify the court's discovery and scheduling order and allowed defendant up to and including August 6, 2015, to file a dispositive motion in this civil rights action. The allotted time period has now expired, and defendant has not filed a dispositive motion. Defendant is not required to file a dispositive motion, but in light of defendant's previous request for additional time to do so, the court will require defense counsel to file a status report addressing how defendant now intends to proceed in this action before this court issues a further scheduling order.

         Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that within ten days of the date of service of this order defendant Ellis shall file a status report in this case indicating how defendant intends to proceed.
