Plaintiff submitted summary of judgment

Advice needed

location: Ohio

hello I am new to all of this- I have a pending credit card judgment (as defendant)

I have been pushing for more time pro se

I had a court hearing set for 06/08/2026 but was just advised that the plaintiff is asking for summary judgment. I have placed a screenshot of the orders submitted by the magistrate but I’m still concerned. discovery ends 2/24, but motions can be submitted until 3/26. how much time do i have to respond? I was contemplating an extension but I really only need until mid March but I’m confused after they submitted this motion as to when I actually need to respond. Within 28 days of this motion request or until 3/26? does the judge decide automatically after discovery? final date to submit discovery is 2/24. I intend to file BK but don’t have all the funds I need yet. (Awaiting tax return… shocker) it’s making me pretty anxious. I received the documents from plaintiff yesterday.
