ORDER memorializing dates and suspending court-supervised discovery. Signed by District Judge Robert H Cleland. (LWag)

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF MICHIGAN SOUTHERN DIVISION THOMAS M. BEAUDOIN, Plaintiff, v. DONALD McGEHEE, et al., Defendants. / ORDER MEMORIALIZING DATES AND SUSPENDING COURT-SUPERVISED DISCOVERY On June 1, 2009, the court conducted a scheduling conference, on the record, with pro se Plaintiff Thomas M. Beaudoin and counsel for Defendants. During the conference, counsel for the state Defendants indicated that he anticipated filing a motion to dismiss by June 12, 2009. If counsel files a motion by such date, the local rules provide that Plaintiff will have until July 7, 2009 to respond. If, however, upon receipt of the motion, Plaintiff desires additional time, he may so request by contacting the court's case manager, Lisa Wagner, at [phone].1 In the meantime, with the exception of Defendant Grant, the parties will suspend discovery pending resolution of the motion to dismiss. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that court-supervised discovery is SUSPENDED until further order of the court2 with the exception of discovery regarding Plaintiff's claims against Defendant Grant. Case No. 08-CV-14289-DT

The court is inclined to grant Plaintiff additional time, within reasonable limitations.
