IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE
NORTHERN DISTRICT OF FLORIDA
PANAMA CITY DIVISION
CONTRELL LEO FLOYD,
Plaintiff,
v.

CASE NO. 5:09-cv-71-RH-GRJ

C M BROWN, et al,
Defendants.
_____________________________/
ORDER
This case is before the Court on Doc. 88, a motion entitled “Plaintiff’s motion for
enlargement of time to file memorandum of law in opposition to Defendants’ motion for
summary judgment.” Plaintiff’s response to Defendants’ motion to dismiss, or in the
alternative for summary judgment, was due to be filed on or before June 2, 2011. See
Doc. 86 (summary judgment notice). To the extent that Plaintiff seeks an extension of
time to respond to Defendants’ summary judgment motion, the Court finds that the
motion should be granted. However, the body of the instant motion suggests that
Plaintiff is also seeking an extension of time to file a “dispositive motion.” The Court’s
scheduling orders in this case required all dispositive motions to be filed by May 2,
2011. See Doc. 83. Plaintiff did not file a timely motion for an extension of the case
management deadline for filing a dispositive motion. To the extent that Plaintiff seeks
such an extension, the Court finds that the motion should be denied pending a ruling on

Defendants’ dispositive motion.
Accordingly, it is ORDERED:
1. Plaintiff’s motion, Doc. 88, is GRANTED to the extent that Plaintiff’s seeks an
extension of time to respond to Defendants’ motion to dismiss/summary
judgment motion. Plaintiff shall file his response to Defendants’ motion on or
before July 5, 2011.
2. In all other respects, the motion is DENIED.
DONE AND ORDERED this 6th day of June 2011.
