ORDER GRANTING MOTION FOR

EXTENSION OF TIME TO FILE

OPPOSITION; GRANTING

MOTION TO STAY DISCOVERY

(Docket Nos. 103, 124, 133)

Plaintiff, proceeding pro se, filed a third amended civil rights complaint pursuant to 42

U.S.C. § 1983. Defendants filed a motion for summary judgment arguing inter alia, that they

are entitled to qualified immunity. (Docket No. 92.) Plaintiff has filed a motion for extension of

time within which to file an opposition.

Plaintiff’s opposition was due on July 10, 2015. On June 29, 2015, plaintiff filed a

motion requesting additional time to file an opposition. (Docket No. 124.) On July 27, 2015,

plaintiff filed a letter indicating that, on July 10, 2015, he had sent an opposition to defendants’

motion for summary judgment to the court and a copy to defendants. He asserts that he received

a notice from the post office that the envelope addressed to the defendants was empty and the

post office indicated that it would search for the lost documents. On August 10, 2015, upon

receiving a docket of these proceedings, plaintiff filed a letter indicating that he would send to

the court another copy of the opposition he originally sent on July 10, 2015. Plaintiff also filed a

motion in opposition to defendants’ reply asserting that the motion for summary judgment

Order Granting Motion for Extension of time to file Opposition; Granting Stay of Discovery

P:\PRO-SE\RMW\CR old\CR.10\Pina784misc4.wpd 2

should be granted because plaintiff had failed to file an opposition. 

Having considered the facts as presented by plaintiff, and in the interest of justice,

plaintiff’s motion for an extension of time is GRANTED. (Docket No. 124.) Plaintiff’s

opposition shall be filed no later than August 31, 2015. Defendants’ reply shall be filed within

fourteen (14) days of the filing date of plaintiff’s opposition. No further requests for an

extension of time shall be granted.

Defendants have also filed a motion to stay discovery. (Docket No. 103). As a general

rule, a district court should stay discovery until the issue of qualified immunity is resolved. See

Crawford-El v. Britton, 523 U.S. 574, 598 (1998); Harlow v. Fitzgerald, 457 U.S. 800, 818

(1982). Accordingly, defendants’ motion to stay discovery until the court has ruled on the issue

of qualified immunity is hereby GRANTED. (Docket No. 103.)

This order terminates docket numbers 103, 124 and 133.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
