UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
DISTRICT OF NEW MEXICO
RICHARD DIAB,
Plaintiff,
v.

Civ. No. 16-1002 MCA/GJF

FNU BACA, et al.,
Defendants.
FINAL ORDER GRANTING EXTENSION OF TIME
THIS MATTER is before the Court on Plaintiff’s “Request to Respond to
Defendants[’] Document 73” (“Motion”). ECF No. 74. Upon reviewing the record, the Court
notes that on December 15, 2017, Plaintiff was ordered to file his response to Defendants’
Martinez Report [ECF No. 60] no later than January 12, 2018. ECF No. 69. Plaintiff elected
not to do so, and instead filed numerous other documents [see ECF Nos. 65, 66, 70, 71, 72],
none of which appear to be a response to Defendants’ Martinez Report. Defendants, in
contrast, complied with the Court’s Order and filed their Reply on January 26, 2018. ECF No.
73; see ECF No. 69.
Thus, to date, Plaintiff has failed to comply with this Court’s Order of December 15,
2017. By the filing of the instant Order, the Court hereby places Plaintiff on notice that
continued failure to ignore Court Orders will result in consequences up to and including the
dismissal of his case.
Nevertheless, the Court will GRANT Plaintiff’s Motion and allow Plaintiff one final
attempt to respond to Defendants’ Martinez Report. Plaintiff SHALL FILE his response to
Defendants’ Martinez Report no later than February 16, 2018. Defendants shall have until
March 2, 2018, to file a reply.

No further extensions of these deadlines shall be allowed.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
