ORDER
WILKERSON, Magistrate Judge:
Now pending before the Court is the Motion for Extension of Time filed by Plaintiff, Erik
Strickland, on February 24, 2016 (Doc. 96). The Motion is GRANTED IN PART. Plaintiff
may file his Motion to Compel by April 1, 2016. To the extent that Plaintiff seeks various
documents that are “bates stamped 1-135” or otherwise, or an Order dictating law library time, the
Motion is DENIED WITHOUT PREJUDICE. If Plaintiff served a request to produce that was
not sufficiently answered, he may file a motion to compel a sufficient answer. To the extent that
Plaintiff did not receive documents that are listed as responsive, he should inform Defendants’
counsel of the missing documents (by listing the documents that have not been received) and
Defendant’s counsel SHALL re-serve the document within five (5) business days of receipt of
Plaintiff’s list. Finally, this Court does not micro-manage the law library at the Lawrence
Correctional Center. Plaintiff should request library time through the procedures set forth by the
prison. Plaintiff is reminded that if he does seek to compel answers to discovery requests, he
should attach the discovery requests and answers to any motion to compel.
Defendants also seek an extension of time to file a Motion for Summary Judgment. The
Motion is GRANTED (Doc. 97). Motions for summary judgment are due by April 6, 2016. In

light of the extensions of time that have been granted previously, no further extensions will be
granted.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
DATED: March 15, 2016

DONALD G. WILKERSON
United States Magistrate Judge
