PAUL ADAMS, Plaintiff, v. DAHL, et al., Defendants.
ORDER GRANTING DEFENDANTS' EX PARTE APPLICATION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME TO RESPOND TO PLAINTIFF'S EMERGENCY APPLICATION FOR TEMPORARY RESTRAINING ORDER AND GRANTING EX PARTE
APPLICATION FOR ENLARGEMENT OF TIME TO FILE RESPONSIVE PLEADING
(Docs. 30, 31)
DECEMBER 20, 2021, DEADLINE
JENNIFER L. THURSTON CHIEF UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE
On September 15, 2021, Plaintiff filed an emergency application for a temporary restraining order (TRO) based on imminent danger from a dangerous environment. (Doc. 26.) Defendants filed an ex parte application for an extension of time to respond to the complaint and to respond to the Plaintiff's TRO application. (Docs. 22, 26.) The Court granted Defendants' requests for extensions of time and ordered Defendants to file their responses on or before November 22, 2021. (Doc. 29).
On November 16, 2021, Defendants filed a motion requesting an additional fourteen days, up to an including December 6, 2021, to respond to the Plaintiff's TRO application. (Doc. 30.) Defendants filed their response on December 6, 2021. (Doc. 34.) 1
Accordingly, Defendants' request for an extension of time to file their response, (Doc. 30), is GRANTED nunc pro tunc . If either party wishes to file a reply in support of their respective motions, they should do so on or before DECEMBER 20, 2021.
On November 22, 2021, Defendants filed a motion to revoke Plaintiff's in forma pauperis (IFP) status based on the “three strikes” rule. (Doc. 31.) At the same time, Defendants filed an ex parte application for a stay of proceedings due to the pendency of the motion to revoke IFP status. (Doc. 32.) Defendants request an enlargement of time of forty-five days to respond to the First Amended Complaint following the Court's ruling on whether Plaintiff's IFP status should be revoked and whether the imminent danger exception applies. (See Doc. 31.)
Upon good cause shown, Defendants' motion for an enlargement of time to file their response to the complaint (Doc. 31) is GRANTED. Defendants shall file their response to the first amended complaint within 45 days following the Court's ruling on Plaintiff's IFP status.
IT IS SO ORDERED. 2
