Campbell v. Bortz Health Care

Filing 23

ORDER GRANTING SECOND MOTION TO EXTEND TIME re 21 Letter. Signed by Magistrate Judge R. Steven Whalen. (GWil)

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT EASTERN DISTRICT OF MICHIGAN SOUTHERN DIVISION EMMA CAMPBELL, Plaintiff, v. BORTZ HEALTH CARE OF OAKLAND, Defendant. / ORDER Plaintiff Emma Campbell, who is pursuing this action without an attorney, has filed a handwritten letter [Docket #21], stating that she again attempted to file a response to Defendant's motion for summary judgment, but that she was rebuffed by Clerk's Office personnel because her exhibits lacked a cover sheet. I previously entered an order extending the time for filing her response to March 10, 2009. According to her letter, she appeared at the Clerk's Office on March 9, 2009. Because the Plaintiff is pro se, because she appears confused about the proper procedures for filing in this Court, and because she has apparently been making a good faith effort to file her response, I will construe her letter as a second motion to extend time, and I will GRANT said motion. Plaintiff Emma Campbell will file her response to the motion for summary
