C. W. HOFFMAN, Jr., Magistrate Judge.
Before the Court is Plaintiff's motion to extend the discovery deadlines (doc. # 18), filed April 20, 2015, and Defendants' response (doc. # 19), filed May 6, 2015. Plaintiff did not file a reply.
In his motion, Plaintiff asks the Court to extend the discovery deadlines by ninety (90) days due to mental health issues that have prevented him from completing discovery as originally scheduled. Defendants, in response, do not oppose extending the discovery deadlines in light of Plaintiff's health issues.
This Court finds good cause for the requested extension. As such, the Court grants Plaintiff's unopposed motion.
Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Plaintiff's motion to extend the discovery deadlines (doc. # 18) is granted. The discovery deadlines shall be extended by ninety (90) days.

4. Motions for summary judgment August 28, 2015
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that, pursuant to LR 16-3(a), the Clerk of Court shall issue a Pretrial Notice Order five days past the date for filing motions for summary judgment or all motions for summary judgment are denied, whichever is later.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that, pursuant to Local Rule 26-4, an extension of the discovery deadline will not be allowed without a showing of good cause. All motions or stipulations to extend discovery shall be received by the Court at least twenty-one (21) days prior to the expiration of the subject deadline. The motion or stipulation shall include:
(a) A statement specifying the discovery completed by the parties as of the date of the motion or stipulation;
