S. RIVARD, et al.,
Defendants.
___________________________________/

ORDER GRANTING PLAINTIFF’S REQUEST FOR EXTENSION (DE 19)
Judge Levy has referred pretrial matters to me for resolution in this pro se
prisoner civil rights case. (DE 6.) Pending now is Plaintiff’s October 27, 2016
motion for additional time to respond to Defendants’ motion for a more definite
statement, which is based on the illegibility of portions of Plaintiff’s Complaint.
(DE 16.) Because Plaintiff is proceeding pro se and is purportedly required to
hand write his pleadings in this action, the Court will leniently GRANT the motion
without Defendants being required to file a response. Plaintiff shall respond to the
motion for a more definite statement by December 8, 2016.1
IT IS SO ORDERED.

 Plaintiff

asks for a twenty-four day extension on page one of his motion and a
fourteen day extension on page eight of the motion. The Court has generously
given Plaintiff a twenty-four day extension. However, Plaintiff is cautioned that
the Court will not grant additional extensions of time to respond to the motion for a
more definite statement.
