Full title: WILLIAM D. DUNNE, Petitioner, v. D. SMITH, WARDEN, B. AVALOS, ASSOCIATE…

Court: United States District Court, E.D. California

Date published: Jan 18, 2011

Case No. 1:07-CV-0074-BLW (E.D. Cal. Jan. 18, 2011)

Opinion

Case No. 1:07-CV-0074-BLW.

January 18, 2011

ORDER

B. LYNN WINMILL, District Judge

Before the Court is Plaintiff's Motion to be Provided Copy of Magistrate's Report and Recommendation and for Extension of Time to Respond to it and to Correct the Record (Dkt. 42), Plaintiff's Motion to Stay Proceedings Pending Service of Relevant Documents (Dkt. 46), and Plaintiff's Motion for Extension of Time (Dkt. 47). Plaintiff's Motions will be granted in part and denied in part, as follows.

The Clerk of Court shall forward a copy of United States Magistrate Judge's Report and Recommendation (Dkt. 40) to Plaintiff at his current address. The Court finds it unnecessary to extend the time for Plaintiff to object to the Report and Recommendation, because Judge Boyle recommended only that the Court reopen and extend the deadline for adding parties and filing dispositive motions. He made no findings or recommendations on substantive issues in the case, and the setting of deadlines is a procedural matter that is within this Court's discretion irrespective of the magistrate judge's recommendation.

Accordingly, within 21 days of this Order, Plaintiff shall respond to Defendants' Supplemental Motion for Summary Judgment, file any motions for leave to amend and join parties and/or any dispositive motions.

2. The Clerk of Court shall forward a copy of United States Magistrate Judge Larry M. Boyle's Report and Recommendation (Dkt. 40) to Plaintiff at his current address.
