ORDER
It is ORDERED that defendant Clemmie L. Palmer’s
motion to continue (doc. no. 46) is denied.
***
Defendant

Palmer

contends

that

all

dispositive

motions were not due until October 31, 2012, and that he
intended to file one by then.

However, § 2 of the

Uniform Scheduling Order issued by this court (doc. no.
15) required that dispositive motions be filed by no
later than August 15, 2012, which has long since passed.

As such, Palmer does not present a sufficient ground for
granting his motion to continue.
DONE, this the 1st day of November, 2012.

/s/ Myron H. Thompson
UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
