ORDER
THIS MATTER is before the Court on “Plaintiff’s Response … to … April 3, 2014
Order” (document #10). Plaintiff seeks a thirty-day extension of time in which to respond to the
“12(b) Motions to Dismiss of Gaston County …” (document #7) filed on April 3, 2014.
In accordance with Roseboro v. Garrison, 528 F.2d 309 (4th Cir. 1975), the Court advises
Plaintiff, who is proceeding pro se, that he has a right to respond to Defendants’ Motion. The
Court also advises Plaintiff that failure to respond may result in Defendants being granted the relief
they seek, that is, the DISMISSAL OF THE COMPLAINT WITH PREJUDICE.
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that Plaintiff is allowed until June 2, 2014 to respond
to Defendants’ “Motion to Dismiss” (document #7). Plaintiff is cautioned that there will be no
further extensions of this deadline absent exceptional circumstances.
To the extent that “Plaintiff’s Response … to April 3, 2014 Order” (document #10) seeks
early discovery or any other relief, it is DENIED.
SO ORDERED.

Signed: April 22, 2014
