ORDER GRANTING DEFENDANT 

ALLISON’S REQUEST FOR EXTENSION 

OF TIME TO RESPOND TO 

INTERROGATORIES AND REQUESTS 

FOR DOCUMENT PRODUCTION

(ECF No. 91)

SIXTY-DAY DEADLINE

Plaintiff Homer Tyrone Lewis (“Plaintiff”) is a state prisoner proceeding in forma 

pauperis in this civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. 

On July 24, 2014, Plaintiff served Interrogatories and Requests for Production of 

Documents, Set One, on Defendant Allison (erroneously sued as “Alison”). Following 

extensions of time due to a pending motion, Defendant Allison’s responses are currently due on 

January 6, 2015. (ECF No. 82.) 

On August 15, 2014, several defendants, including Defendant Allison, filed a motion for 

summary judgment for failure to exhaust administrative remedies. (ECF No. 58.) 

On December 9, 2014, the undersigned issued Findings and Recommendations on 

Defendants’ motion for summary judgment recommending that the motion be granted and that 

Defendant Allison be dismissed from this action. The deadline for the parties to file objections 

to the Findings and Recommendations has not expired.

On January 5, 2015, Defendant Allison filed the instant request for a sixty-day extension 

of time to respond to Plaintiff’s interrogatories and requests for production of documents. 

Defendant Allison indicates that the extension of time will allow the Court to render a final 

ruling on the motion for summary judgment and prevent the unnecessary expenditure of Court 

and litigant resources if the Court grants the motion. 

Good cause appearing, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED as follows:

1. Defendant Allison’s request for an extension of time to respond to Plaintiff’s 

Interrogatories and Requests for Production of Documents, Set One, is GRANTED;

2. If appropriate and necessary, Defendant Allison’s responses to Plaintiff’s

Interrogatories and Requests for Production of Documents, Set One, are due on or 

before March 7, 2015. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
