ORDER

THIS MATTER IS BEFORE THE COURT on “...Plaintiff Motion In Opposition To
Defendants Motion To Extend Time To File A Reply Brief Due October 6, 2011” (Document No.
15) filed October 17, 2011. This motion has been referred to the undersigned Magistrate Judge
pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b), and immediate review is appropriate. Having carefully considered
the motion and the record, the undersigned will deny the motion.
Plaintiff requests that the Court reconsider its “Order” (Document No. 13) granting
“Defendants’ Motion To Extend Time To File A Reply Brief” (Document No. 11). The undersigned
allowed Defendants’ request for an extension of time to file a reply brief for good cause shown, and
to aid in the Court’s decision-making process. The instant motion fails to describe any prejudice
suffered by Plaintiff based on the Court’s action, or to articulate any persuasive reason Defendants’
request should have been denied.
IT IS, THEREFORE, ORDERED that “...Plaintiff Motion In Opposition To Defendants
Motion To Extend Time To File A Reply Brief Due October 6, 2011” (Document No. 15) is
DENIED.

Signed: October 17, 2011
