ORDER

This matter is before the court on its own motion. The plaintiff was recently granted leave to amend his complaint to add parties. Filing No. 167, Order. This is an action for deprivation of constitutional rights brought pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. In their brief opposing plaintiff's motion to amend, defendants stated that they would seek leave to amend their pending motions for summary judgment if the amended complaint were filed. See Filing No. 161, Brief at 6. Accordingly, the court finds the motions for summary judgment should be denied as moot without prejudice to refiling. Deadlines for progression of the case will be amended by the magistrate judge in due course. IT IS ORDERED the defendant's motions for summary judgment (Filing Nos. 75 and 78) are denied as moot, without prejudice to reassertion. DATED this 8th day of June, 2009. BY THE COURT:
