Opinion

Civil Action No. 07-cv-00663-LTB-CBS.

December 14, 2007


ORDER


This civil action comes before the court on Mr. Whitington's "Motion to Hold Case in Abeyance to Allow Plaintiff to File for a Temporary Restraining Order Against the Colorado Department of Corrections and/or the Defendants" (filed December 7, 2007) (doc. # 40). Pursuant to the Order of Reference dated July 31, 2007 (doc. # 17) and the memorandum dated December 11, 2007 (doc. # 41), this matter was referred to the Magistrate Judge.

Mr. Whitington "requests that the above case be held in abeyance" for an unspecified "reasonable amount of time." ( See doc. # 40 at p. 3 of 4). Currently, the deadline for completion of discovery is April 30, 2008, more than four months in the future. The deadline for filing dispositive motions is May 31, 2008, more than five months in the future. ( See Courtroom Minutes/Minute Order (doc. # 34)). Mr. Whitington has not adequately demonstrated that his desire to file a motion for a temporary restraining order will in any way affect the current deadlines. While the court will entertain any requests by Mr. Whitington for necessary extensions of time, Mr. Whitington has not demonstrated an adequate basis for a stay. Accordingly,

IT IS ORDERED that Mr. Whitington's "Motion to Hold Case in Abeyance to Allow Plaintiff to File for a Temporary Restraining Order Against the Colorado Department of Corrections and/or the Defendants" (filed December 7, 2007) (doc. # 40) is DENIED.
