Good cause appearing, those requests will be granted.
Typically, an extension of an additional thirty days would be sufficient for a
Plaintiff to decide whether to amend and actually to amend if that is his choice. This is
especially true here where the court has identified the deficiencies in Plaintiff’s pleading
and what is needed to correct them. Inasmuch as the Court is granting the Plaintiff’s
request for an extended sixty day extension, it will be Plaintiff’s last extension of time
unless some new and presently unforeseeable good cause arises hereafter.
Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:
1. Plaintiff’s motion for an extension of time (ECF No. 12) is GRANTED;
2. Plaintiff is granted sixty days from the date of service of this order in which to
file a first amended complaint; and

11

3. The Clerk of Court is directed to resend Plaintiff a copy of his first complaint
12

(ECF No. 1) and the Court’s first screening order (ECF No. 10).

IT IS SO ORDERED.
