Case No. 15-cv-774-pp

PHILLIP FRIEDRICH, et al.,
Defendants.
______________________________________________________________________________
ORDER GRANTING THE PLAINTIFF’S MOTION FOR
EXTENSION OF TIME (DKT. NO. 41)
______________________________________________________________________________
On November 13, 2017, the defendants filed a motion for partial
summary judgment based on the plaintiff’s failure to exhaust administrative
remedies on his First Amendment Retaliation claim. Dkt. No. 34. The plaintiff
has filed a motion, asking the court to grant him an extension of forty-five days
to respond to the defendants’ motion. Dkt. No. 41. The plaintiff also asks for
various discovery documents. Id.
The defendants do not oppose the plaintiff’s motion for extension of time,
but ask that the court extend the dispositive motions deadline to July 13,
2018, because defense counsel will be on Family Medical Leave between
February 2018 and May 2018. Dkt. No. 42.
The court will grant the plaintiff’s motion for extension of time. See Fed.
R. Civ. P. 6(b)(1)(A). As to the plaintiff’s request for various items of discovery,
however, he should send those requests directly to counsel for the defendants.
