rights action brought pursuant to Bivens v. Six Unknown Named Agents of the Federal 

Bureau of Narcotics, 403 U.S. 388 (1971).

On February 26, 2015, the action was dismissed in light of the parties’ stipulation 

for dismissal with prejudice. (ECF No. 72.) Numerous pending motions, including 

motions by Plaintiff for relief from the settlement agreement, were denied in light of the 

stipulation. (Id.)

Before the Court is Plaintiff’s March 13, 2015 motion for an extension of time to 

respond to the Court’s February 26, 2015 order on the ground he currently is in special 

housing. (ECF No. 74.)

There is no pending deadline for Plaintiff to respond to the Court’s order. To the 

extent Plaintiff intends to seek relief pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 60(b), 

he must do so within a “reasonable time,” and, for reasons stated in Rule 60(b)(1), (2),

IT IS SO ORDERED.
