B. VELASQUEZ, et al.,

Defendants. ORDER

 /

Defendants Cox and Higgens filed a motion to dismiss on December 7, 2009;

defendant Velasquez filed a motion to dismiss on December 17, 2009. Plaintiff filed a request, 1

on December 22, 2009, for an extension of time until January 31, 2009, to file his opposition to

the initial motion. Plaintiff, who again states that he uses a wheelchair and is legally blind,

emphasizes that he is being released from prison and has “lots to do.” Plaintiff will be 2

permitted additional time to respond to the pending motions, but there will be no further

extension beyond that.
