While the parties present differing accounts regarding Plaintiff’s access to his legal 

material during and after the period of his hospitalization, Plaintiff attests that he is ready to begin 

discovery. (Doc. 37, Perry Dec., ¶9.) Based on Plaintiff’s representation that his legal material 

was lost, the Court will direct the Clerk’s Office to send him a copy of the docket and a copy of 

the discovery and scheduling order filed on February 3, 2014. 

Accordingly, the Court HEREBY ORDERS that:

1. The stay imposed on March 12, 2014, is lifted;

2. The discovery and scheduling order filed on February 3, 2014, is amended as 

follows:

a. The deadline for filing a motion to dismiss or for summary judgment for 

failure to exhaust administrative remedies is November 13, 2014;1

b. The deadline for amending the pleadings is January 13, 2015;

c. The deadline for the completion of all discovery, including filing motions to 

compel, is March 13, 2015; and

d. The deadline for filing pretrial dispositive motions is May 13, 2015; and

3. The Clerk’s Office shall send Plaintiff a copy of the docket and a copy of the 

discovery and scheduling order filed on February 3, 2014.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
