MINUTE ORDER
ORDER ENTERED BY SENIOR JUDGE WILEY Y. DANIEL
THIS MATTER is before the Court on defendants, Marcus Lehmkuhl, City of
Colorado Springs, Colorado, R.A. Yohn, and Bret Poole’s Motion To Strike Plaintiff’s
Untimely Objections To The Magistrate Judge’s Recommendation Or, In The
Alternative, For A 30-Day Extension Of Time To File A Response [ECF No. 93].
On May 9, 2013, pro se plaintiff, Kevin Francis Jones, filed what he styled as a
Notice Of Appeal [ECF No. 90]. After review of the case file, I construed the motion as
a request for an extension of time to file objections to Magistrate Judge Shaffer’s
Recommendation [ECF No. 89], which was issued on April 26, 2013. On May 16, 2013,
I granted Jones’s motion and stated that:
Jones shall file any and all objections to Magistrate
Judge Shaffer’s Recommendation [ECF No. 89] on or
before Monday, June 17, 2013. If Jones does not file
objections on or before this date, I will proceed to
review Magistrate Judge Shaffer’s Recommendation
[ECF No. 89] as though it is free of objections.
ECF No. 91, p. 2. Thus, I gave Jones an additional 32 days, more than double the
standard period for filing objections to a Magistrate Recommendation, to file objections
to Magistrate Judge Shaffer’s Recommendation [ECF No. 89].1 Jones filed his
Objections To The Recommendation Of The Magistrate Judge CBS [ECF No. 92] on
Tuesday, June 18, 2013. Because Jones’s objections were not filed in accordance with
the absolute deadline established in my May 16, 2013, Minute Order [ECF No. 91], it is
ORDERED that defendants, Marcus Lehmkuhl, City of Colorado Springs,
Colorado, R.A. Yohn, and Bret Poole’s Motion To Strike Plaintiff’s Untimely Objections
To The Magistrate Judge’s Recommendation Or, In The Alternative, For A 30-Day
Extension Of Time To File A Response [ECF No. 93] is GRANTED to the extent they
move to strike Jones’s Objections To The Recommendation Of The Magistrate Judge
CBS [ECF No. 92]. Therefore, it is
FURTHER ORDERED that Jones’s Objections To The Recommendation Of The
Magistrate Judge CBS [ECF No. 92] are STRICKEN from the record.
Dated: July 1, 2013.
