to defendants' motion for summary judgment. (Docket # 18.) A 90-day extension is not
warranted under the circumstances mentioned in plaintiff's request. Most notably, plaintiff has
not shown specific discovery needs that warrant such a long extension and, as defendants
suggest, the fact that they raised a qualified immunity defense in their motion for summary
judgment means that they likely will be entitled to a stay of discovery if they request it. Upon
due consideration of plaintiff's request, the court GRANTS a 60-day extension of the deadline.
The court now sets the following new briefing schedule on the motion for summary judgment:
1.

23

summary judgment no later than October 7, 2011.
