IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE DISTRICT OF MONTANA
HELENA DIVISION
JUAN RODRIGUEZ,
Plaintiff,

CV-17-00104-H-BMM

vs.
STATE OF MONTANA, MONTANA
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND
HUMAN SERVICES, JOHN DOE, and
JANE DOE (DPHHS EMPLOYEES),

ORDER

Defendants.

United States Magistrate Judge John Johnston issued Findings and
Recommendations in this matter on May 31, 2018. (Doc. 14). Presently before the
Court is Plaintiff Juan Rodriguez’s motion to extend the deadline for filing
objections to Judge Johnston’s Findings and Recommendations. Plaintiff states that
additional time is needed because he has been transferred to Cascade County
Detention Center for a hearing and has no “access to legal materials.” (Doc. 18.)
Rodriguez remains unaware of when he will be transferred back to Montana State
Prison and have the ability to access the “Law Library.” Id.
The Court agrees that an extension of the objection deadline is appropriate
under the circumstances presented in this case.
Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED:

Plaintiff’s Motion to Extend the Objection Deadline (Doc. 18) is
GRANTED. Plaintiff shall file his objections to Judge Johnston’s Findings and
Recommendations on or before August 10, 2018.
DATED this 13th day of June, 2018.
