GRANTING PLAINTIFF’S MOTION
FOR EXTENSION OF TIME TO
OBJECT TO REPORT AND
RECOMMENDATION
Plaintiff,
v.
JANE BALKEMA, et. al,
Case No. 2:17-cv-304
Defendants.
Judge Clark Waddoups
Background
On April 3, 2017, pro se Plaintiff Thomas James Zajac, proceeding in forma pauperis,
commenced a Bivens action in the Northern District of Illinois. (See ECF No. 1.) On April 18,
2017, the case was transferred to the District of Utah and assigned to Judge Dee Benson. (See
ECF No. 7.) On November 6, 2017, the case was referred to Magistrate Judge Evelyn Furse
under 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B). (See ECF No. 17.) On November 26, 2018, Magistrate Judge
Furse entered a Report and Recommendation, recommending that “the District Judge DISMISS
Mr. Zajac’s Complaint for failure to state a claim . . . .” (ECF No. 20 at 2.) Magistrate Judge
Furse also notified the parties that they must file any objection to the Report and
Recommendation within fourteen days of service thereof. (ECF No. 20 at 7-8.) On December 11,
2018, the court received Mr. Zajac’s Motion for Extension of Time to Respond to the Report and
Recommendation. (See ECF No. 21.) Mr. Zajac appears to request a 60 day extension of the
deadline to file an objection to the Report and Recommendation. (See ECF No. 21 at 1.) On
December 13, 2018, Judge Dee Benson entered an Order of Recusal, and the case was assigned
1
to the undersigned on this date. (ECF No. 22.)
Conclusion
Plaintiff’s Motion for Extension of Time to Respond to the Report and Recommendation,
(ECF No. 21) is GRANTED. Plaintiff may file an objection to the Report and Recommendation
on or before February 11, 2019.
DATED this 14th day of December, 2018.
BY THE COURT:
CLARK WADDOUPS
United States District Judge
