Before the Court is Plaintiff's "Motion to Stay" (docket no. 63), in which he requests a "stay
in proceedings" because he is
without a Professional Attorney needed to meaningfully represent his claims, the
SVSP's law library is woefully deficient, Plaintiff is a lay person without any
formal civil training in Civil law, that Plaintiff is going home on February 12[,]
2012 etc; and that in the interests of justice the action should be heard and granted.
(Pl.'s Mot. to Stay at 1.)
The Court notes that Plaintiff has already received previous extensions of time to file his
20
opposition to the motion for summary judgment. The original deadline for his opposition was July
21
5, 2011, but it was extended to August 15, 2011 when the Court granted Plaintiff's second request
22
for an extension.1 On August 25, 2011, Plaintiff's third request for an extension was also granted,
23
and he was given until September 30, 2011 to file an opposition. Finally, Plaintiff's fourth request
24
for an extension was granted, and, as mentioned above, he was given until December 30, 2011 to file
25
an opposition. Therefore, Plaintiff has already received one hundred forty-seven (147) additional

The Court notes that Plaintiff's first request indicated that the deadline to file his opposition
was on "June 7, 2011"; therefore, he had requested an extension up to and including "July 4, 2011."
(June 5, 2011 Req. for EOT at 1.) The Court granted his request in an Order dated June 13, 2011.
However, the Court notes that Plaintiff's opposition was actually due on July 5, 2011, sixty days after
the motion for summary judgment was filed. Therefore, Plaintiff's first extension request was not
necessary.
1
days to file his opposition. Nevertheless, the Court finds that another very brief extension of time is
2
appropriate; however, a "stay of proceedings," as Plaintiff requests will not be granted. Instead, the
3
Court construes his motion as a fifth request for an extension of time to file his opposition to
4
Defendants' motion for summary judgment after his release date on February 12, 2012.
5
Accordingly, Plaintiff's fifth request for an extension of time to file his opposition to Defendants'
6
motion for summary judgment is GRANTED in part and DENIED in part. Plaintiff must file his
7
opposition no later than February 3, 2012. Defendants' reply to the opposition must be filed no
8
later than February 29, 2012. This is the final extension that will be given to Plaintiff, and no
9
further extensions of time will be granted in this case.
This Order terminates Docket no. 63.
