Plaintiff is proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis in this action filed on June 24,
2016. Plaintiff’s complaint was previously dismissed for failure to state a claim, though
he was granted leave to amend. When Plaintiff failed to file an amended complaint, the
undersigned issued Findings and Recommendations to dismiss this action without
prejudice for failure to obey a court order and failure to prosecute. (ECF No. 6.) Plaintiff
has now filed a motion for extension of time to file his amended complaint. (ECF No. 7.)
Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:
1. The Findings and Recommendations (ECF No. 6) are VACATED;

1

2. Plaintiff’s request for an extension of time (ECF No. 7) is GRANTED;

2
