ORDER ON FEDERAL DEFENDANTS' ADMINISTRATIVE MOTION TO SET DEADLINE TO ANSWER OR OTHERWISE RESPOND TO THE COMPLAINT
THE HONORABLE HAYWOOD S. GILLITAM JR. UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
Federal Defendants filed an Administrative Motion requesting a uniform date for any served Federal Defendant to answer or otherwise respond to the Complaint filed by Plaintiff Stephen Bernard Lopez (“Plaintiff”), who is proceeding in propria persona, including to file any dispositive motions.
Having considered the papers, and good cause appearing therefore, the Court hereby GRANTS the motion. Federal Defendants shall answer or otherwise respond to the Complaint by July 23, 2024. Should Plaintiff's service for any of the Federal Defendants call for a responsive deadline after July 23, 2024, the responsive deadline shall be no earlier than that set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12(a). This Order does not have an effect on Federal Defendants' right to assert any defenses, including Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12(b)(4)-(5) defenses.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
