Plaintiff,
v.
MS. JANE DOE TEAGUE, et al.,
Defendants,

No. 2:15CV59 HEA

OPINION, MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
This matter is before the Court on plaintiff’s motion to compel and motion for extension
of time. The motions are denied.
The motion to compel is premature because the Court has not authorized discovery.

See

E.D. Mo. L.R. 16 - 5.01, 16 - 5.04 (discovery in prisoner cases may not take place until Court
enters a Case Management Order).
The motion for extension of time is moot. Plaintiff is under the impression that defendant
Thompson has filed a motion to dismiss the complaint. He did not. He filed an answer, which
does not require a response.
Accordingly,
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that plaintiff’s motions to compel [ECF No. 35] and for
extension of time [ECF No. 36] are DENIED.
Dated this 7th day of January, 2016
