Filing 52
ORDER: Defendants the Tennessee Department of Children's Services (DCS) and Carolyn Jennings, Jennifer Adams, Julie Brown, Meredith Rambo, and Joshua T. Crain, in their individual and official capacities, have moved for an extension of time until June 20, 2022, to answer or otherwise respond to pro se Plaintiff Roy Allen Carter's complaint. (Doc. Nos. #20 , #22 , #40 , #42 #44 .) Given the relatively brief extension of time requested by DCS, Jennings, Adams, Brown, Rambo, and Crain, the Court finds that granting the motions will not unduly delay the initiation of this case. The Court GRANTS those defendants' motions (Doc. Nos. #20 , #22 , #40 , #42 #44 ) and EXTENDS the deadline for those defendants to answer or otherwise respond to Carter's complaint to June 20, 2022. Signed by Magistrate Judge Alistair Newbern on 5/19/2022. (xc:Pro se party by regular mail.) (DOCKET TEXT SUMMARY ONLY-ATTORNEYS MUST OPEN THE PDF AND READ THE ORDER.)(ln)
