FREEMAN ALLEN FELDER, Plaintiff, v. H. MACIAS, et al., Defendants.
ORDER
DENNIS M. COTA UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE.
Plaintiff, a prisoner proceeding with retained counsel, brings this civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Pending before the Court are the parties' motions, ECF No. 38 and 40, for modification of the schedule for this case.
A review of the docket reflects that discovery in this matter closed on December 5, 2022. See ECF No. 35. Plaintiff has timely filed a motion to compel discovery. See ECF No. 36. Also before the Court is Plaintiff's counsel's motion to withdraw. See ECF No. 41. The Court finds it appropriate to vacate the dispositive motion filing deadline pending resolution of Plaintiff's motion to compel and counsel's motion to withdraw. Upon resolution of these other pending motions, the Court will re-set the deadline to file dispositive motions.
Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED as follows:
1. The parties' motions to modify the schedule, ECF Nos. 38 and 40, are granted.
2. The remaining schedule for this case, consisting only of the dispositive motion filing deadline, is vacated.
3. The Court will re-set the dispositive motion filing deadline upon resolution of Plaintiff's pending motions to compel and Plaintiff's counsel's pending motion to withdraw, which will be addressed by separate orders.
4. The Clerk of the Court is directed to terminate ECF Nos. 38 and 40 as pending motions.
