On December 20, 2005, the Magistrate Judge issued an order denying plaintiff’s

May 3, 2004 petition for criminal certification. On May 15, 2006, plaintiff filed a motion to set

aside the order denying criminal certification. “Rulings by Magistrate Judges shall be final if no

reconsideration thereof is sought from the Court within ten (10) court days calculated from the

date of service of the ruling on the parties.” Local Rule 72-303(b). Plaintiff’s motion to set aside

the ruling served on December 20, 2005, will be denied as untimely.

On May 11, 2006, the Magistrate Judge issued an order granting defendants’

request for an extension of time to file a reply to plaintiff’s opposition to defendants’ motion to

dismiss. On May 23, 2006, plaintiff filed a motion to set aside the order. Plaintiff’s proof of

certification is denied; and

extension of time is denied.
