Boisvert v. Sears CV-96-495-M 12/19/97 UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT DISTRICT OF NEW HAMPSHIRE

Jeanie T. Boisvert

v. Civil No. 96-495-M

Sears, Roebuck & Co.

O R D E R

Defendant, Sears, moves for summary judgment in plaintiff's

Title VII suit on grounds that Ms. Boisvert did not timely file

her administrative complaint. Ms. Boisvert's attorney filed a

motion and her own affidavit, pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil

Procedure 56(f), seeking for additional time to conduct discovery

necessary to respond to the motion for summary judgment. See,

e.g., Reid v. New Hampshire, 56 F.3d 332, 341 (1st Cir. 1995) .

Plaintiff's motion (document no. 16) is granted to permit

necessary discovery. Plaintiff represents that little discovery

is necessary; the court finds that sixty days ought to be

adeguate time to complete sufficient depositions and other

discovery to permit a reasoned response. Accordingly, plaintiff

shall respond to defendant's motion for summary judgment within

sixty days of the date of this order.

SO ORDERED.
