Opinion
Civil Action No. 08-cv-00942-LTB-BNB.
May 11, 2009
ORDER
This matter arises on the plaintiff's Motion for Leave [Doc. #47, filed 5/4/09] (the "Motion"). The plaintiff "seeks leave from the court for the above listed action in order to devote a special attention to the Plaintiff's marriage in order to reconcile differences."
Because the plaintiff is proceeding pro se, I must liberally construe his papers. See Haines v. Kerner, 404 U.S. 519, 520-21 (1972). I construe the Motion as a request to stay the case.
The Motion is denied. Granting a stay would significantly delay a final determination on the merits, contrary to the expressed purpose of the federal rules to achieve a "just, speedy, and inexpensive determination of every action." Fed.R.Civ.P. 1.
IT IS ORDERED that the Motion is DENIED.
