KENDALL J. NEWMAN, Magistrate Judge.
Plaintiff, proceeding through counsel, seeks relief pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. All parties consented to proceed before the undersigned for all purposes.
Plaintiff's complaint alleges that defendants violated various constitutional rights and committed negligence, false imprisonment, and intentional and negligent infliction of emotional distress, in violation of California state law. Defendants Schwarzenegger and James removed the action to this court on January 4, 2010. On January 12, 2010, defendant Cate and the California Department of Corrections ("CDCR") joined in the removal. On September 10, 2010, the motion to dismiss plaintiff's federal constitutional claims filed by defendants Schwarzenegger and Cate was granted, and CDCR's motion to dismiss plaintiff's federal claims was granted, but CDCR's motion to dismiss plaintiff's state law claims was denied. (Dkt. No. 28.) Thus, this action is proceeding on plaintiff's claim that defendant James violated plaintiff's rights under the Fourth, Fifth,
However, in plaintiff's opposition to the motion for summary judgment, plaintiff states he would not address Section VI of defendants' motion for summary judgment as defendants Cate and Brown were dismissed from this action, citing the district court's ruling on the motion to dismiss (dkt. no. 28). As set forth above, defendants Cate and Brown did not move to dismiss plaintiff's state law claims. (Dkt. No. 15 at 1, 2 n.1.) Thus, plaintiff's state law claims as to defendants Cate and Brown are still viable. Good cause appearing, plaintiff is granted an additional twenty-one days to file an opposition to the motion for summary judgment filed by defendants Cate and Brown on plaintiff's state law claims. Defendants are granted fourteen days thereafter to file a reply. Based on this additional briefing, oral argument on the motion is continued to August 2, 2012.
Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:
1. Within twenty-one days, plaintiff shall file an opposition to the motion for summary judgment filed by defendants Cate and Brown on plaintiff's state law claims; defendants' reply is due fourteen days thereafter;
2. With their supplemental briefing, either party is invited to submit a copy of the Bureau of Prisons' letter dated May 2003 allegedly declining to receive plaintiff into federal custody (referenced at Dkt. No. 58-3 at 36); and
3. Hearing on defendants' motion for summary judgment is continued from June 7, 2012, to Thursday, August 2, 2012, at 10:00 a.m., in Courtroom #25.
