No. CIV 06-2635 -PHX-SMM

ORDER

Pending before the Court is Plaintiff's unopposed Request for Additional Time to

Respond to Defendants' Motion to Dismiss and Exhibits Thereto. (Dkt. 69)

Plaintiff asserts that the Motion to Dismiss filed by Defendants Behavioral

Management P.A. ("BMI") and Dr. Bettina Kilburn ("Kilburn") is "predicated on matters

extraneous to the pleadings" and requests additional time to respond thereto. Plaintiff seeks

to avoid any prejudice that could result if the Court were to convert the motion to dismiss

into a motion for summary judgment. Under Rule 12(b)(6) of the Federal Rules of Civil

Procedure, the Court may, in its discretion, convert a motion to dismiss for failure to state a

claim into a motion for summary judgment by considering matters outside the pleadings. 

Because the Court will not convert the Motion to Dismiss filed by Defendants BMI

and Kilburn into a Rule 56 motion for summary judgment, Plaintiff's request will be denied.
