ORDER GRANTING PLAINTIFF'S MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME; DENYING PLAINTIFF'S MOTION FOR APPOINTMENT OF COUNSEL (Docket No. 296)
GOOD CAUSE APPEARING, plaintiff's request for an extension of time to file an opposition to defendants' motion to dismiss misjoined parties and sever claims is hereby GRANTED. Plaintiff shall file his opposition no later than September 16, 2011. Defendants shall file a reply brief no later than fifteen (15) days after plaintiff's opposition is filed.
Plaintiff also requests appointment of counsel to assist in preparing such opposition. This is plaintiff's fifth request for appointment of counsel in this matter. For the reasons stated in the Court's prior orders, plaintiff's present motion for appointment of counsel likewise is denied. If the Court subsequently determines appointment of counsel is warranted, it will seek volunteer counsel to represent plaintiff.
This order terminates Docket No. 296.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
