Case No. 3:12-cv-00013-JPG-PMF
09-11-2012
OZZIE PICKETT, Plaintiff, v. YOLANDE JOHNSON, et al., Defendants.
REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION
FRAZIER, Magistrate Judge:
Plaintiff filed the above-captioned pro se civil rights suit in this District Court on January 6, 2012, naming eighteen individuals and another unknown defendant correctional officer ("John Doe"). The Court has since dismissed the individually named defendants, leaving only John Doe as the remaining defendant. See Docs. 23, 78.
On July 27, 2012, the Court set a deadline for filing amended pleadings, "including those seeking to name any previously unknown defendant." See Doc. 69. On August 8, 2012, Plaintiff filed a motion to stay the Court ordered deadline for amended pleadings. See Doc. 73. Two days later, the Court declined to stay the deadline but stated that "plaintiff may file a motion for an extension of time to extend the amended pleadings deadline if the unknown defendant cannot be identified by August 27, 2012." See Doc. 74. No extension of time has been filed as of the date of this Report and Recommendation.
For the foregoing reasons, it is RECOMMENDED that defendant John Doe be DISMISSED from this case. If his Report and Recommendation is adopted in its entirety, this case may be closed.
SO RECOMMENDED.
