On May 24, 2010, Plaintiff was ordered to show cause why this action should not be dismissed for Plaintiff's failure to obey a court order. (Doc. #9.) The Court had previously ordered Plaintiff to file an amended complaint and Plaintiff did not file an amended complaint within the thirty (30) day deadline. Plaintiff responded to the order to show cause on June 18, 2010. Plaintiff explains that he did not file his amended complaint on time because his "legal helper" was busy preparing filings for Plaintiff in other cases and that Plaintiff lacked the reading skills to prepare his amended complaint on his own. Plaintiff also requested a thirty (30) day extension of time to file his amended complaint. The Court will grant Plaintiff's request for a thirty (30) day extension and discharge the order to show cause. However, Plaintiff is advised that, in the future, Plaintiff must request extensions of time before the relevant deadline passes. /// 1 v. WARDEN JAMES A.
