Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM: Daniel Watlington appeals the district court's order denying relief on his complaint filed pursuant to Bivens v. Six Unknown Named Agents of Fed. Bureau of Narcotics, 403 U.S. 388 (1971), and 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2000). He contends that Defendant
Carter failed to timely file her motion for summary judgment, so the district court erred in considering that motion. However, the
motion was timely in accordance with Fed. R. Civ. P. 56(c). Similarly, Defendant Benya's motion to dismiss or for summary judgment was filed within the extension period granted by the district court, and thus is deemed timely. Accordingly, we affirm. Watlington v. Johnson, No. 5:05-ct-00761-FL (W.D.N.C. Jan. 8, 2008). We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal
contentions are adequately presented in the materials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional process.
AFFIRMED
