Plaintiff
v.
TODD HOPKINS, BRANDON BARNES, JOHN HUTTO
and FORT COLLINS POLICE DEPARTMENT
Defendants.
DEFENDANTS BRANDON BARNES, JOHN HUTTO AND THE CITY OF FORT
COLLINS, SUED AS THE “FORT COLLINS POLICE DEPARTMENT”, RESPONSE TO
PLAINTIFF’S MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME (ECF No. 47)
Defendants, Brandon Barnes, John Hutto, and the City of Fort Collins, sued as the “Fort
Collins Police Department,” through their Attorneys, Mark S. Ratner, Esq., and Hall & Evans,
L.L.C., submit the following as their Response to Plaintiff’s Motion for Extension of Time (ECF
No. 47) as follows:
I. INTRODUCTION AND ARGUMENT
On July 3, 2019, Plaintiff filed a Motion apparently requesting an extension of time to
respond to “Motion for Dismissal” (sic). No specific motions are identified, nor is there any
request for the amount of time sought (See generally, ECF No. 47)1. It is assumed, however,
1 Plaintiff subsequently sent an email to undersigned Counsel and Counsel for Defendant
Hopkins indicating an amended motion would be filed, seeking 30 days from the receipt of certain
“discovery materials.”
Case 1:18-cv-03112-RBJ-STV Document 53 Filed 07/09/19 USDC Colorado Page 1 of 3
Plaintiff is asking the Court for an extension of time to respond (at least in part) to Defendant
Barnes, Hutto and the City of Fort Collins’ Motion to Dismiss (ECF No. 39).
To the extent Plaintiff’s Motion seeks an extension of time to file a response to Defendant
Barnes, Hutto and the City of Fort Collins’ Motion to Dismiss, the Motion is moot. On July 2,
2019, Plaintiff filed a response to the Defendants’ Motion to Dismiss (See Caption, ECF No. 45,
referencing ECF No. 39).
II. CONCLUSION
WHEREFORE, Officer Barnes, Chief Hutto, and the City of Fort Collins, respectfully request
the Court grant deny Plaintiff’s Motion for Extension of Time, to the extent it purportedly applies
to these Defendants’ Motion to Dismiss.
Respectfully submitted this 9th day of July 2019.
