Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis in this civil

20

rights action brought pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. On April 5, 2017, the Court ordered

21

Plaintiff to show cause why the action should not be dismissed based on Plaintiff’s failure

22

to file an amended complaint as ordered by the Court. (ECF No. 14.) Almost immediately

23

thereafter, Plaintiff filed his amended complaint (ECF No. 15), and a request to excuse

24

his untimely filing (ECF No. 16). The Court construes the latter of these filings as a

25

request to extend the deadline for filing his amended complaint.

In light of Plaintiff’s submissions, it is HEREBY ORDERED that:

No. 16) is GRANTED; and
