UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
EASTERN DISTRICT OF MICHIGAN SOUTHERN DIVISION SCOTT W. SUTHERLAND, Plaintiff, v. Case number 05-72496 MICHAEL J. MIZER, JOHN M. CECIL, DAVID Honorable Julian Abele Cook, Jr. RUIZ, JOHN DAKMAK, ERIC RESTUCCIA, and WAYNE COUNTY,
Defendants. ________________________________________ ORDER On April 29, 2007, the Plaintiff, Scott Sutherland, filed a motion to stay the proceedings in this civil litigation pending the entry of decisions by the Court on two motions to reconsider that he had filed on April 26th and April 27 th of this year. Inasmuch as this Court has now rendered decisions which denied the two motions that were the underlying subject matters of Sutherland’s April 29 th application for relief, this issue (i.e., a stay of this case) is moot, and must be denied.
The Court also notes that Sutherland filed another motion on May 1 st , seeking an extension of the time in which he could attempt to effect proper service upon the United States of America. The Court, having reviewed the record in this cause, will grant his motion and, in so doing, will extend the time for service of the summons and related documents upon the Defendants for a period of thirty (30) days from the date of this order.
