to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Pending before the court is plaintiff’s motion for an extension of time

(Doc. 19), filed on January 22, 2008. Plaintiff is requesting additional time to respond to

defendant’s motion to dismiss (Doc. 14). Plaintiff was served with the motion to dismiss on

November 29, 2007. However, due to plaintiff’s transfer, he was re-served with the motion on

December 17, 2007. Plaintiff’s response was due on January 7, 2008.
