Warden Robert M. Stevenson, III, et al.,
Defendants.

C/A No.: 1-11-425-RMG-SVH

ORDER AND AMENDED
SCHEDULING ORDER

This matter comes before the court on Plaintiff’s motion to stay all scheduling

order deadlines. [Entry #55]. Plaintiff states he is currently in “lock-up” for possession
of vitamins and contends being in lock-up has rendered him unable to work on his
lawsuit. Per his motion, Plaintiff will be released from lock-up in “a couple of months.”
Based on the foregoing, the court denies Plaintiff’s motion to stay [Entry #55], but
orders that all deadlines set forth in the court’s November 7, 2011 scheduling order
[Entry #53] be extended 90 days.
The scheduling order deadlines are amended as follows:
1.

Motions to amend pleadings shall be filed no later than March 6, 2012.
Amendments of pleadings beyond this date will not be permitted absent
extraordinary circumstances.

2.

Discovery shall be completed no later than April 9, 2012. All discovery
requests shall be served in time for the responses thereto to be served by
this date.

3.

All other motions, except those to complete discovery, those nonwaivable
motions made pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 12, shall be filed on or before
May 16, 2012. (Fed. R. Civ. P. 16(b)(2)).

IT IS SO ORDERED.
