This is a civil action for monetary relief in which plaintiff is proceeding pro se. Defendants have filed a motion to dismiss. The current briefing schedule gives plaintiff until December 27, 2010 to file her brief in response. Plaintiff has submitted a letter stating that she will be unable to comply with this deadline because of medical issues as well as the fact that she has a January 17, 2010 deadline to file her appellate brief in a case before the Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit. I will grant plaintiff an extension of time to file her response.

However, as plaintiff should be aware from her previous litigation in this court, I cannot grant her unlimited extensions of time; ultimately she will have to litigate the case or it will be dismissed for her failure to prosecute.
