McNulty, Randall v. Wisconsin Department of Public Safety

Filing 14

ORDER denying 13 Motion to stay proceedings. Signed by District Judge William M. Conley on 3/25/2014. (jef),(ps)

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE WESTERN DISTRICT OF WISCONSIN
RANDALL WAYNE MCNULTY,
ORDER
Plaintiff,
v.

13-cv-732-wmc

WISCONSIN DEP’T OF PUBLIC SAFETY,
Defendant.
Plaintiff Randall Wayne McNulty filed a complaint asking the court to compel the
Wisconsin Department of Public Safety to provide him with an accident report pursuant to
the Freedom of Information Act (“FOIA”), 5 U.S.C. § 552, and state law governing open
records. On February 28, 2014, the court dismissed this action for failure to state a claim
upon which relief may be granted. McNulty has now filed a motion to “stay” proceedings
pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 6(b)(1)(A)-(B). Because this case is now closed, McNulty does
not demonstrate that this rule, which governs extensions of time, applies. To the extent that
he intends to seek relief from the judgment under Fed. R. Civ. P. 59(e), the deadline for
seeking such relief is not one which can be extended.

See Fed. R. Civ. P. 6(b)(2).

Accordingly, the motion must be denied.
ORDER
IT IS ORDERED that plaintiff Randall Wayne McNulty’s motion to stay proceedings
(Dkt. # 13) is DENIED.
Entered this 25th day of March, 2014.
BY THE COURT:
