GREGORY G. HOLLOWS, Magistrate Judge.
Plaintiff is proceeding pro se in this action, referred to the undersigned pursuant to Local Rule 302(c)(21).
Presently calendared for hearing on June 18, 2015 are motions to dismiss filed by defendant Bratcher (ECF No. 15), and by defendant Gweon. (ECF Nos. 20, 21, 23, 24.) Plaintiff has filed an opposition to Bratcher's motion to dismiss. (ECF No. 31.) Plaintiff has not filed an opposition to Gweon's motion; however, he has filed a motion to continue the hearing on both of the aforementioned motions to August 6, 2015 with an implied request to file his opposition at a later time due to defendants' alleged failure to serve plaintiff with the motions in a timely manner and the change in hearing date on Gweon's motion from January, 2016 to June, 2015. (ECF No. 29.) A review of the docket and proofs of service filed in conjunction with Gweon and Bratcher's motions to dismiss indicate that plaintiff was served with the motions at least twenty-eight (28) days prior to the noticed hearing date of June 18, 2015. (ECF Nos. 19, 20.)
Also before the court is plaintiff's motion to remand, filed April 20, 2015, and noticed for hearing on August 6, 2015.
Having reviewed the record, the court has determined that oral argument would not be of material assistance in determining the aforementioned pending motions. Accordingly, the court will not entertain oral argument, and will determine the motions on the record, including the briefing in support of and in opposition to the pending motions.
Good cause appearing, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:
1. The June 18, 2015 hearing on the motions to dismiss filed by defendants Bratcher and Gweon, (ECF Nos. 15, 20), and the August 6, 2015 hearing on plaintiff's motion to remand, (ECF Nos. 6, 28), are vacated;
2. Plaintiff's motion to continue, construed as a request for extension of time in which to file an opposition, (ECF No. 29), is granted in part. Plaintiff shall file his opposition to defendant Gweon's motion to dismiss by
3. The motions will be submitted on the record after the time for filing opposition and replies have passed.
