John F. Chagnon
v.

Civil No. 11-cv-461-JD

US Department of Veterans Affairs, Secretary, et al.

ORDER

The plaintiff has filed a pleading entitled "Motion to Appeal Magistrate Judge McCafferty
Ruling of April 3, 2012" (doc. no. 16), which appears to relate to Magistrate Judge McCafferty's
order of consolidation dated April 3, 2012. To the extent the plaintiff intended for this pleading to
be an objection to the Magistrate Judge's order as permitted by Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(a), that motion is
denied.
The plaintiff subsequently filed an Emergency Motion for Extension Time 40 Days from
April 11, 2012" (doc. no. 17), which appears to be a request to extend the date to file a Notice of
Appeal. The court grants that motion pursuant to Fed. R. App. P. 4(a)(5). Thus, the plaintiff has
until May 23, 2012, to file a Notice of Appeal in this matter.
SO ORDERED.

April 25, 2012
