ORDER DENYING MOTION FOR

EXTE N S I O N O F TIME AS

PREMATURE 

(DOCUMENT #27)

On August 10, 2006, plaintiff filed a motion seeking an extension of time to respond to the

court’s screening order if the court grants defendant’s removal motion and screens the complaint. A

notice of removal is self-executing and does not require leave of court. Therefore, plaintiff’s action is 1

now pending in this court. Once the court screens plaintiff’s complaint, it will notify plaintiff what is

required of him and provide him with time to comply. It is unnecessary to seek an extension of time at

this juncture. Once the court issues its order, if plaintiff finds he needs additional time, he may renew

his motion at that time. 

Based on the foregoing, plaintiff's motion for an extension of time, filed August 10, 2006, is

HEREBY DENIED as premature.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
