ORDER

THIS MATTER IS BEFORE THE COURT on “Plaintiff’s Request For Pre-Trial
Conference & To Expedite” (Document No. 25) and “Plaintiff’s Withdrawal Of Motion To
Expedite” (Document No. 29). These motions have been referred to the undersigned Magistrate
Judge pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b), and immediate review is appropriate. Having carefully
considered the motions and the record, the undersigned will allow the pro se Plaintiff’s motion to
withdraw his previous motion to expedite.
In addition, the Court will allow Plaintiff a brief extension of time to file a reply brief in
support of his pending motion for summary judgment, and deny “Plaintiff’s Motion” (Document
No. 21). “Plaintiff’s Motion” appears to seek leave to amend the caption of the case (and/or the
Complaint) if the Court rules against him on the pending motion to dismiss. (Document No. 21,
p.1). The undersigned finds that “Plaintiff’s Motion” is not properly supported and should be
denied without prejudice. See Local Rule 7.1 (A)–(C).
IT IS, THEREFORE, ORDERED “Plaintiff’s Request For Pre-Trial Conference & To
Expedite” (Document No. 25) is DENIED AS MOOT.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that “Plaintiff’s Withdrawal Of Motion To Expedite”
(Document No. 29) is GRANTED.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that “Plaintiff’s Motion” (Document No. 21) is DENIED
WITHOUT PREJUDICE.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Court will sua sponte grant Plaintiff an extension
of time until September 27, 2017, to file a reply brief in support of his motion for summary
judgment. See Local Rule 7.1 (E).
SO ORDERED.
