No. 2:17-cv-0319 JAM AC P
ORDER
J. PICKETT, et al.,
15
Defendants.

Plaintiff, a state prisoner proceeding pro se with a civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C.
18
§ 1983, has filed a motion for an extension of time to respond to defendants’ motion for judgment
19
on the pleadings. ECF No. 93. He was previously warned that no further extensions of time
20
would be granted. ECF No. 92.
In the motion, plaintiff asserts that on September 11, 2019, he made three copies of his
21
22
opposition and submitted them to the law librarian for mailing to the court and defendants’
23
counsel. ECF No. 93 at 2. He further alleges that his opposition was seized by prison officials
24
after the librarian deposited the envelope for mailing. Id. at 8. It is not clear whether plaintiff
25
was notified that his opposition was seized or whether he is assuming that it was because it was
26
not received by the court. In light of the allegations, defendants will be required to respond to the
27
motion.
