JUDGMENT

[re: docket no. 33]

I. BACKGROUND

On May 30, 2007, Plaintiff Ivan Cleveland, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, filed a

civil rights complaint pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. In separate written orders, this Court denied

Plaintiff’s motion to appoint counsel but granted Plaintiff’s motion to proceed in forma pauperis. 

On November 2, 2007, this Court issued a partial dismissal order, which dismissed one defendant

and directed the remaining defendants to file a dispositive motion within ninety days of the date

of the order. The partial dismissal order granted Plaintiff thirty days from the date Defendants

There are two other pending motions in addition to Plaintiff’s motion to stay the action 2

and schedule a case management conference. On February 21, 2008, Plaintiff filed a motion

against retaliation. On June 10, 2008, Plaintiff moved for financial relief and sanctions. These

motions will be considered when the matter is taken under consideration.

filed to submit his opposition to the dispositive motion. Defendants were granted an additional

fifteen days to reply to Plaintiff’s opposition. The matter was to be deemed submitted as of the

reply brief’s due date; however, Defendants subsequently waived their right to reply. 

There are two other pending motions in addition to Plaintiff’s motion to stay the action

and schedule a case management conference. On February 21, 2008, Plaintiff filed a motion

against retaliation. On June 10, 2008, Plaintiff moved for financial relief and sanctions.

Because Cunningham substituted in as Plaintiff’s counsel only two days before Plaintiff

filed his opposition to Defendants’ motion, Cunningham likely did not have sufficient

opportunity to review the record or to assist Plaintiff in drafting the opposition. Thus, the Court

will grant Plaintiff thirty (30) days to supplement or amend his opposition to Defendants’ motion. 

The Court then will take the matter under submission without oral argument unless the parties

are notified otherwise by the Court.
