pursuant to Bivens v. Six Unknown Named Agents of Federal Bureau of Narcotics, 403 U.S. 388,

Recommendations regarding dismissal of claims against staff at USP Big Sandy and USP 

Hazelton without prejudice for improper venue and dismissal of action with prejudice for failure 

to state a claim. The Findings and Recommendations were served on Plaintiff and contained 

notice that any objections were to be filed within fourteen days. (ECF No. 9, p. 5.) Plaintiff’s 

objections were due on or before February 17, 2015. 

On February 27, 2015, Plaintiff filed the instant motion for an extension of time to file his 

objections to the Findings and Recommendations. (ECF No. 10.) Although untimely, Plaintiff 

explains that he mailed his original request for an extension of time on February 5, 2015, but the 

mail was returned to him for issues with his postage. (ECF No. 10, p. 2.) Plaintiff requests
