CHARLES A. BALDWIN,
Plaintiff,
v.

ENTERED BY MAGISTRATE JUDGE KRISTEN L. MIX
This matter is before the Court on Plaintiff’s Motion to Amend Discovery Cut-Off
Date and Dispositive Motion Deadline [Docket No. 32; Filed March 5, 2012] (the
“Motion”). Plaintiff requests extensions of the discovery cutoff and dispositive motion
deadlines, which are set at May 12, 2012 and June 13, 2012 respectively, pending the filing
of an Answer by Defendant or the resolution of the underlying criminal action, which is
currently on appeal.
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the Motion is DENIED AS PREMATURE. As stated,
the discovery cutoff and dispositive motion deadline are set two months from now. The
Court is not persuaded that good cause exists to impose a three- and four-month extension
of these deadlines at this stage of the proceeding.
To the extent Plaintiff’s Motion can be construed, in effect, as a request for a stay
pending disposition of the Motion to Dismiss or the underlying criminal action, the Court
denies such request for the reasons stated in its Order issued November 1, 2011 [#10],
which denied Defendant’s Motion to Vacate Scheduling Conference and to Stay Discovery.
Dated: March 7, 2012
