MEMORANDUM AND ORDER

Plaintiff moves for additional time to respond to the Court's Order dated November 7, 2016, in which the Court directed him to submit the correct name for defendant M. Boldin. He also requests additional time to respond to defendant Hudgens's answer.

The motion is granted in part. Plaintiff has until December 21, 2016, to learn Boldin's correct name. However, the Federal Rules do not permit a reply to an answer without a court order. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 7(a)(7). The Court does not believe that a reply to defendant's answer is necessary. So, plaintiff may not file one.

Accordingly,

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that plaintiff's motion for extension of time [ECF No. 14] is GRANTED in part and DENIED in part. Plaintiff's response is due no later than December 21, 2016.
