the Court are not accepted and not filed in the case, however, in this instance, the letter was filed

by the Clerk of Court. The Court construes the letter as a request for an extension of time and

GRANTS Plaintiff thirty (30) days in which to file his Objections. Plaintiff is reminded that the

Findings and Recommendations were issued in September of last year, giving Plaintiff almost

four months to formulate Objections. Plaintiff is forewarned that the Court is not inclined to

grant Plaintiff’s an indefinite amount of time to submit Objections and will only grant an

extension upon a showing of extremely good cause.

Accordingly, the Court HEREBY ORDERS: 

1. The Letter submitted on January 6, 2006, is CONSTRUED as a request for an

extension of time to file Objections; 

2. The Request for an Extension of Time is GRANTED. The Objections are due

within THIRTY (30) days of the date of service of this Order. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
