THIS MATTER is before the Court on Plaintiff’s Motion for Extension of Time to File

Information, (Doc. No. 31), and on Plaintiff’s Motion to Appoint Counsel, (Doc. No. 32).
First, as to Plaintiff’s Motion for Extension of Time to File Appropriate Motions, (Doc.

action. Thus, dispositive motions shall be due on or before April 11, 2016.
Next, as to Plaintiff’s Motion for Disclosure of Impeachment Information, the motion is
denied. Pursuant to Local Rule 26.2 and the Court’s scheduling order entered on October 14,
2015, all discovery requests in this matter are to be served on the parties, and discovery requests
are not to be filed with the Court. (Doc. No. 25 at 2). Thus, Plaintiff shall serve his discovery
requests on Defendants.
Finally, as to Plaintiff’s Motion to Appoint Counsel, Plaintiff’s motion is denied for the
same reasons the Court has denied his prior motions to appoint counsel. See (Doc. Nos. 8; 19).
