Due to the extended discovery deadline, which expires on September 24, 2010, the court will grant plaintiff's August 18, 2010 request for an extension of time. Plaintiff shall have 30 days from the expiration of the September 24, 2010 discovery deadline to file and serve to file an opposition to the motion for summary judgment. A stay is thus currently unnecessary, and plaintiff's request for a stay will accordingly be denied without prejudice. Plaintiff also indicates in his motion for stay that he objects to defendant's use of his medical information in the motion for summary judgment. Plaintiff has filed a motion to prohibit defendant's use of such information. Dckt. No. 46. The court defers any determination on the appropriateness of defendant's use of plaintiff's medical information until it has received defendant's opposition or statement of no opposition to plaintiff's motion in accordance with Local Rule 230(l). Accordingly, it is here by ORDERED that: 1. Plaintiff's August 18, 2010 motion for extension of time (Docket No. 47) is granted, and plaintiff shall have until October 25, 2010 to file an opposition to defendant's August 2, 2010 motion for summary judgment; 2.

Plaintiff's August 11, 2010 motion to correct the spelling of defendant's name (Docket No. 44) is granted, and the Clerk of the Court is directed to correct the spelling of defendant's name to "Vojkufka" on the docket. DATED: September 2, 2010.
