September 28, 2021 Opinion or Order Filing 27 ** TEXT ONLY ORDER ** Plaintiff has asked for a 30-day extension of his deadline to respond to defendant's motion to dismiss or transfer this case to the Eastern District of Wisconsin, asserting that the institution is on lock down and he needs more time to do research to respond to the motion. Dkt. #22 . Plaintiff's request is granted, but only in part: I will allow him an extra week, or until October 12, 2021, to respond to the motion. Contrary to plaintiff's assertion, the questions presented by defendants' motion - whether any of the defendants reside in this district or any of the events in the complaint occurred in this district - are not complex and they require very little legal research. With diligence, plaintiff should be able to respond to the motion in two weeks. As for his accompanying request for counsel, dkt. #23 , the court will take no action on that motion until it determines whether the case will remain in this district.
