ORDER GRANTING PLAINTIFF’S SECOND 

MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME

NOVEMBER 18, 2024 DEADLINE

Pending before the Court is Plaintiff Eric Dicks’ second Motion for Extension of Time, 

filed on October 18, 2024. (Doc. No. 10). Plaintiff seeks an unspecified extension of time to 

respond to the Court’s July 25, 2024 Screening Order because his facility has been on lockdown 

throughout the month of September and no librarian was available until October 4. (Id.). The 

Court previously granted an extension of time on August 29, 2024. (Doc. No. 9).

The Court may grant an extension of time “with or without motion or notice if the court 

acts, or if a request is made, before the original time or its extension expires.” Fed. R. Civ. P. 

6(b)(1)(A). The Court finds good cause to grant a further 30-day extension of time. Plaintiff 

must deliver to correctional officials for mailing his response to the Court’s July 25, 2024 

Screening Order no later than November 18, 2024. The Court will not grant a further extension
