Case No. 18-3135-CM-KGG

MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
This case is before the court on plaintiff Brian Waterman’s Motion for a Continuance (Doc.
92). Although the relief plaintiff seeks is not clear, it appears that he is preemptively seeking an
extension of time to respond to any motions to dismiss filed on the deadline set by the magistrate judge
in Doc. 81, which is today—February 13, 2019. Two motions to dismiss have been filed thus far
(Docs. 93 and 95). Plaintiff represents that he has been placed in segregation for sixty days and does
not have access to the tools he needs to respond to any motions to dismiss. Plaintiff’s deadline to
respond to any dispositive motions filed today would have been March 6, 2019.
The court determines that plaintiff has adequately demonstrated why he needs additional time
to respond to the motions to dismiss that have been filed (and may be filed) today. The court therefore
extends his time to respond to May 1, 2019.
