Eric Andrew Rieb, Plaintiff, v. Warden Robert M. Stevenson, III, et al., Defendants.
ORDER AND AMENDED
SCHEDULING ORDER
This matter comes before the court on Plaintiff's motion to stay all scheduling order deadlines. [Entry #55]. Plaintiff states he is currently in "lock-up" for possession of vitamins and contends being in lock-up has rendered him unable to work on his lawsuit. Per his motion, Plaintiff will be released from lock-up in "a couple of months."
Based on the foregoing, the court denies Plaintiff's motion to stay [Entry #55], but orders that all deadlines set forth in the court's November 7, 2011 scheduling order [Entry #53] be extended 90 days.
The scheduling order deadlines are amended as follows:
1. Motions to amend pleadings shall be filed no later than March 6, 2012. Amendments of pleadings beyond this date will not be permitted absent extraordinary circumstances.
2. Discovery shall be completed no later than April 9, 2012. All discovery requests shall be served in time for the responses thereto to be served by this date.
3. All other motions, except those to complete discovery, those nonwaivable motions made pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 12, shall be filed on or before May 16, 2012. (Fed. R. Civ. P. 16(b)(2)).
IT IS SO ORDERED. January 17, 2012
Columbia, South Carolina
