SAMUEL RUSS OXLEY, Plaintiff, v. DEPUTY SAMUEL JONES, et al., Defendants.
ORDER GRANTING PLAINTIFF'S MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME TO RESPOND TO DISCOVERY; GRANTING EXTENSION OF TIME TO FILE SUMMARY JUDGMENT MOTION
(Docket No. 50)
BETH LABSON FREEMAN, UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
Plaintiff, who appeared to be a pretrial detainee at the time he initiated this action, filed a civil rights complaint under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 against officers of the Contra Costa County Sheriff's Department. Dkt. No. 1. In the last court order, the Court granted Defendants a second extension of time to file their summary judgment motion by March 1, 2024. Dkt. No. 45.
Plaintiff has filed a motion for an extension of time regarding a February 1, 2024 deadline because of his recent transfer to another prison and a state wide lockdown with no access to the law library. Dkt. No. 50. According to Defendants' response to this motion, that deadline is for a response to their written discovery requests. Dkt. No. 51. Defendants do not oppose Plaintiff's motion, but request that the Court continue their summary judgment deadline to a date at least 30 days after the new due date for discovery responses.
Good cause appearing, Plaintiff's motion is GRANTED. Plaintiff shall respond to Defendants' discovery requests by February 29, 2024.
Defendants shall file a motion for summary judgment or other dispositive motion no later than April 1, 2024. Briefing shall proceed thereafter in accordance with the Court's briefing schedule. See Dkt. No. 27.
This order terminates Docket No. 50.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
