On September 25, 2019, Plaintiff filed a “request for stay of proceedings/extension of

19

time,” in which he asked the Court “for a stay of proceedings for 90 days or for what the Court

20

deem[s] appropriate.” (Doc. 16.) The Court construes the request as a motion to extend time to

21

comply with the Court’s screening order issued on September 6, 2019, in which the Court ordered

22

Plaintiff to file a second amended complaint or a notice that he wishes to proceed solely on the

23

claims found cognizable in the order. (Doc. 15.)
