ORDER GRANTING PLAINTIFF’S REQUEST

FOR EXTENSION OF TIME TO OPPOSE

DEFENDANT’S MOTION TO DISMISS 

(Document 31)

On December 12, 2007, Defendant filed a motion to dismiss Plaintiff’s complaint as well

as a motion to stay discovery pending resolution of the motion to dismiss.

On December 26, 2007, Plaintiff filed an application for an extension of time to file an

opposition to these motions. He explained that his access to the prison law library was restricted

because of a lock-down status. On January 4, 2008, the Court granted the motion and ordered

Plaintiff to file his oppositions on or before January 25, 2008.

On January 17, 2008, Plaintiff filed another request for an extension of time to file an

opposition to the pending motion to dismiss. He also filed a statement of non-opposition to

Defendant’s motion for stay of discovery. In this request, Plaintiff explains that he needs

additional time to finalize, serve and file his opposition because his property was taken in

anticipation of his transfer. He has been informed that he will receive his property back some

time during the week of January 13, 2008, and therefore requests a thirty day extension.

It is unclear whether Plaintiff received the Court’s prior order granting him until January

25, 2008, to file his opposition. In any event, due to the circumstances of Plaintiff’s transfer, the

Court will grant his request.

Good cause appearing, Plaintiff’s request is GRANTED. Plaintiff shall file his

opposition to Defendant’s motion to dismiss within thirty (30) days of the date of service of this

order. As this is Plaintiff’s second request for an extension of time, further requests are

discouraged absent extraordinary circumstances. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
