On June 6, 2011, Plaintiff LaMar Singleton ("Plaintiff") filed a first amended complaint

against Eli Lilly Co. ("Defendant"). (Doc. 11.) Plaintiff claimed that Defendant manufactured,

marketed, and sold Zyprexa. Plaintiff asserted that taking Zyprexa caused him to develop type 2

21

diabetes, obesity, severe metabolic complications with multiple cysts, and tumors on both kidneys.

Plaintiff stated that Defendant violated his constitutional rights and requested $75,000 in damages.

On June 29, 2011, the Court dismissed Plaintiff's complaint and granted Plaintiff thirty (30)

24

days to file an amended complaint. (Doc. 12.) On July 25, 2011, Plaintiff filed a request for a forty-

25

five (45) to sixty (60) day extension of time to file an amended complaint. (Doc. 13.) Plaintiff

27

notice of the need to amend. (Doc. 13, 1:18-20.) Plaintiff further states that he needs additional time
