GLENN O'CONNOR, Plaintiff, v. CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS AND REHABILITATION, et al., Defendants.
ORDER
KENDALL J. NEWMAN UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE
Plaintiff filed a motion for extension of time to file an opposition to defendants' October 27, 2021 motion for summary judgment. Good cause appearing, plaintiff's motion is granted.
Plaintiff also filed a motion to be excused from complying with Local Rule 260(b), which requires him to reproduce defendants' statement of undisputed facts in his opposition. Plaintiff alleges that due to physical illness, it would be a great burden to rewrite defendants' undisputed facts in his opposition.
Defendants' summary judgment motion contains a statement of 43 undisputed facts. (ECF No. 99-3.)
Based on plaintiff's representation that rewriting defendants' statement of undisputed facts would be physically burdensome, plaintiff's motion to be excused from complying with Local Rule 260(b) is granted. However, by granting this motion, the undersigned does not 1 excuse plaintiff from his burden of addressing defendants' statement of undisputed facts. Plaintiff shall prepare his opposition to the best of his ability. IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:
1. Plaintiffs motion for an extension of time (ECF No. 101) is granted;
2. Plaintiff is granted thirty days from the date of this order in which to file an opposition to defendants' summary judgment motion;
3. Plaintiffs motion to be excused from complying with Local Rule 260(b) (ECF No. 102) is granted. 2
