Case No.: 1:13-cv-01935-SAB (PC)
ORDER GRANTING PLAINTIFF EXTENSION
OF TIME TO FILE AMENDED COMPLAINT
AND DENYING PLAINTIFF’S REQUEST FOR
CLARIFICATION
[ECF No. 18]

Plaintiff Lonnie Lee Poslof, Sr. is appearing pro se in this civil rights action pursuant to 42
U.S.C. § 1983.

19

On April 30, 2014, the Court dismissed Plaintiff’s complaint for failure to state a claim upon

20

which relief may be granted under section 1983. Plaintiff was directed to file an amended complaint

21

within thirty days from the date of service of that order.

22

On May 19, 2014, Plaintiff filed a motion entitled “Motion for Leave to file Amended

23

Complaint.” Within the motion, Plaintiff requests an extension of time to file an amended complaint

24

and requests clarification in “layman” terms the reasoning of the Court’s April 30, 2014, order. The

25

Court shall grant Plaintiff’s request for an extension of time to file an amended complaint and deny his

26

request for clarification.
