MEMORANDUM and ORDER
STEPHEN N. LIMBAUGH, JR., District Judge.
This matter is before the Court on the pro se prisoner plaintiff's motion to compel (#33). Plaintiff states that was transferred to a different prison and placed "back into punitive segregation," where he is not permitted to have any legal materials or writing materials, nor is he allowed to visit the law library. He seeks an order compelling defendants to allow him access to the library and to the materials necessary for prosecuting his case.
Defendants respond that plaintiff is on suicide watch. "Generally, while on suicide watch, Plaintiff may not have any materials, including papers, pens, and research materials." (#36 at 1.) Plaintiff is allowed to read materials at the cell door. Defendants state they will not oppose a stay of this matter until plaintiff is no longer on suicide watch. Plaintiff did not file a reply memorandum.
Although the Court will not formally stay this matter, plaintiff is advised that he may move for any extensions of time that he may need in order to prosecute his case in light of his housing situation. Plaintiff is able to file motions with the Court.
Accordingly,
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that plaintiff's motion to compel is DENIED without prejudice.
