Defendants.

Plaintiff Benjamin Laigo proceeds pro se and in forma pauperis in this civil rights action

16

pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. The Court, having considered two pending motions (Dkts. 150,

17

153), finds and concludes as follows:

18

(1)

Defendants filed a motion to extend the October 1, 2018 dispositive motion

19

deadline. (Dkt. 150.) They seek an extension to December 1, 2018, noting the large number of

20

individual defendants added to this matter in plaintiff’s amended complaint, the need to consult

21

with those individuals with regard to dispositive motions, and obligations of defense counsel in

22

other cases. Defendants also note that, while plaintiff has been granted numerous extensions in

23

this matter, this is the first extension requested by defendants. The Court, finding the request for

an extension reasonable, herein GRANTS defendants’ motion. (Id.) Any dispositive motions in

2

this matter shall be filed and served on or before December 1, 2018.

3

(2)

Plaintiff filed a “Motion to include additional evidence in opposition to

4

[defendants’] Summary Judgment and opposition to claim.”

5

accompanied by over 100 pages of exhibits. (Dkt. 152-1 & Dkt. 153 (redacted version).) Because

6

there is no dispositive motion pending, plaintiff’s motion (Dkt. 152) is DENIED as unnecessary.

7

However, plaintiff is advised that the exhibits remain available on the docket and may be referred

8

to by plaintiff in any opposition to a dispositive motion filed by defendants in the future.

(Dkt. 152.)

The motion is

Thomas S. Zilly.

The Clerk is directed to send copies of this Order to the parties and to the Hon.

Dated this 10th day of October, 2018.
