Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding pro se with a civil rights action pursuant to

42 U.S.C. § 1983. On February 22, 2006, defendants filed a motion to dismiss. On March 23,

2006, plaintiff filed a document styled as a motion for a protective order and a letter addressed to

the Clerk of the Court. In the motion, plaintiff represents that he has never received a copy of

defendants’ motion to dismiss. Good cause appearing, plaintiff’s request will be construed as a

request for reservice of the motion and for an extension of time to respond and, so construed, will

be granted.

In accordance with the above, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. Plaintiff’s March 23, 2006 motion for a protective order is construed as a

motion for reservice of defendants’ February 22, 2006 motion to dismiss and for an extension of

time to respond thereto and, so construed, is granted;
