Jerry King (“Plaintiff”) is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis in this

18

civil rights action filed pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. On February 28, 2018, Plaintiff filed a

19

motion for an extension of time to complete and return the service documents. (ECF No. 16).

Plaintiff also asks for a copy of his complaint. (Id.). Plaintiff explains that he needs more time

his complaint because, while the Court ordered that he be sent a copy, he never received one.

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:
1. Plaintiff is granted thirty (30) days from the date of service of this order to
