David Burns, Plaintiff v. M.D. Hanf, et al., Defendants
ORDER GRANTING EXTRA TIME FOR RESPONSE TO MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT
[ECF NOS. 38, 48, 49, 50]
Jennifer A. Dorsey U.S. District Judge
On January 11, 2022, Plaintiff David Burns submitted a long-overdue response to the defendants' pending motion for summary judgment. He explains in the most recent of two requests to extend time that he is incarcerated, and his legal papers were confiscated and only recently returned to him. For that reason, he was unable to prepare a timely response, or a motion to extend the deadline to file it, and he ultimately filed his response as soon as possible. I find that Burns has shown both excusable neglect and good cause, so IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that his requests to extend the deadline to file his response brief [ECF Nos. 48, 50] are GRANTED. Burns's response brief at ECF No. 49 is deemed timely. The deadline for defendants' reply brief is governed by Local Rule 7-2(b). 1
ECF No. 49.
ECF No. 38.
