CIVIL ACTION NO. 1:10-CV-0883
(Judge Conner)

ORDER
AND NOW, this 9th day of May, 2012, upon consideration of various motions
filed by the parties, it is hereby ORDERED that:
1.

Defendants’ motion (Doc. 90) for an extension of time to file a brief and
documents in opposition to plaintiff’s motion for a preliminary
injunction is DENIED as moot based on the denial of plaintiff’s motion
for a preliminary injunction (Doc. 101).

2.

Defendants’ motion (Doc. 91) to reset pretrial deadlines and plaintiff’s
motion (Doc. 93) for an extension of time to complete discovery are
DENIED as moot based on the Amended Scheduling Order (Doc. 100)
issued on April 11, 2012.

3.

Defendants’ motion (Doc. 106) for leave to file a reply brief one day out
of time is GRANTED. The reply brief filed on May 1, 2012 (Doc. 105) is
DEEMED timely.

4.

Plaintiff’s motion for appointment of counsel (Doc. 107) is DENIED
because the resolution of plaintiff’s claims neither implicates complex
legal or factual issues nor requires factual investigation or the
testimony of expert witnesses, see Tabron v. Grace, 6 F.3d 147, 155-57
(3d Cir. 1993) (listing factors relevant to request for counsel). To the
extent that plaintiff raises concerns about meeting the discovery and

dispositive motions deadlines set forth in the Scheduling Order (Doc.
82), the deadlines were recently extended to afford the parties an
additional sixty days (Doc. 100).
