NORTHERN DISTRICT OF FLORIDA
GAINESVILLE DIVISION
WILLIE YOUNG,
Plaintiff,
v.

CASE NO. 1:11-cv-205-MP-GRJ

ALACHUA COUNTY JAIL,
Defendant.
_____________________________/
ORDER
This matter is before the Court on a letter from Plaintiff requesting the Court to
stay this action until Plaintiff is released from custody. (Doc. 16.) Plaintiff is not
scheduled to be released from the custody of the Florida Department of Corrections
until January 2013 according to the Florida Department of Corrections website. Plaintiff
has filed this lawsuit and, accordingly, it is his responsibility to prosecute this case. The
motion to stay the case is therefore due to be denied. Plaintiff is reminded that pursuant
to the Court’s February 28, 2012 order, doc. 15, Plaintiff is required to file an amended
complaint by March 23, 2012, failing which this case will be dismissed.
Accordingly, upon due consideration, it is ORDERED that:
Plaintiff’s motion to stay this case (Doc. 16) is DENIED.
DONE AND ORDERED this 5th day of March 2012.
