Dixon v. Adams County, Colorado et al

Filing 49

ORDER denying 47 plaintiffs Motion for Leave by Magistrate Judge Boyd N. Boland on 05/11/2009.(sah, )

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLORADO Magistrate Judge Boyd N. Boland Civil Action No. 08-cv-00942-LTB-BNB BRIAN D. DIXON, Plaintiff, v. ADAMS COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE, and DOUGLAS N. DARR, in his official capacity as Sheriff of Adams County, Colorado, Defendants. ______________________________________________________________________________ ORDER ______________________________________________________________________________ This matter arises on the plaintiff's Motion for Leave [Doc. #47, filed 5/4/09] (the "Motion"). The plaintiff "seeks leave from the court for the above listed action in order to devote a special attention to the Plaintiff's marriage in order to reconcile differences." Because the plaintiff is proceeding pro se, I must liberally construe his papers. See Haines v. Kerner, 404 U.S. 519, 520-21 (1972). I construe the Motion as a request to stay the case. The Motion is denied. Granting a stay would significantly delay a final determination on the merits, contrary to the expressed purpose of the federal rules to achieve a "just, speedy, and inexpensive determination of every action." Fed.R.Civ.P. 1. IT IS ORDERED that the Motion is DENIED. Dated May 11, 2009. BY THE COURT: s/ Boyd N. Boland United States Magistrate Judge
