ORDER EXTENDING PRE-TRIAL
DEADLINES

Before the Court is Plaintiff’s Motion for Extension of Time to Complete Discovery
and Clarification of Deadline on Unserved Defendant. ECF No. 52. Plaintiff requests a 120
day extension of the discovery deadline. Id. Defendants do not object to the requested
extension due to the recent effectuation of service of process on Defendant Karen Brunson.
ECF No. 53.
Plaintiff also requests the status of service on Otto Miller. ECF No. 52. Plaintiff was
given an additional 120 days from October 18, 2011 to serve Mr. Miller (ECF No. 47) and
Defendants provided the last known address they had for Mr. Miller (ECF No. 48). The
docket reflects that the Clerk attempted service on November 3, 2011 at the address provided
by Defendants. However, no waiver of service or response has been received. If this
