____________________________________)

Before the Court is Plaintiff’s Motion for Extension of Time for Filing Opposition

to Defendants Motion for Summary Judgment (#46, filed December 28, 2009).

For the reasons stated below, the Court will also consider this motion as a Motion for Reconsideration.

Defendants’ filed a Motion for Summary Judgement (#38) on October 5, 2009. The

opposition was due October 20, 2009, but no opposition was forthcoming. Accordingly, on

November 4, 2009, this Court granted the Motion for Summary Judgment. Unfortunately, Plaintiff

was being, or had been transferred to another institution, but his notice of transfer was not received

until several weeks after the entry of the Order granting the Motion for Summary Judgment, and he

did not have an opportunity to oppose the Defendants’ motion.

He now asks for an extension of time to file an opposition. Because there has

already been an order entered, the Court will consider Plaintiff’s motion to also include a motion for

reconsideration of the dismissal order and grant him time to prepare a response.
