(Docs. ##21—23). Plaintiffs opposition to the motion was due April 3, 2020. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 6(d); Local Rule 6.1(b). To date, plaintiff has failed to oppose the motion or seek an extension of time to do so. Accordingly, it is HEREBY ORDERED: The Court sua sponte extends to May 6, 2020, plaintiff’s time to oppose the motion to dismiss. If plaintiff fails to oppose the motion by May 6, 2020, the motion will be deemed fully submitted and unopposed. If plaintiff opposes the motion, defendants’ reply, if any, shall be due May 20, 2020. The Court certifies pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(3) that any appeal from this Order not be taken in good faith, and therefore in forma pauperis status is denied for the purposes of an appeal. Cf. Coppedge v. United States, 369 U.S. 438, 444-45 (1962). Chambers will mail a copy of this Order to plaintiff at the address on the docket.
