Dckt. No. 17. Then, on September 18, 2010, plaintiff filed a motion for a 30 day extension of time to file a second amended complaint. Dckt. No. 18. However, the July 21 findings and recommendations recommended that plaintiff "be granted thirty days from the date of any order adopting these findings and recommendations to file a second amended complaint." Dckt. No. 16 (emphasis added). Because more than 28 days have passed since plaintiff's July 30, 2010 request and because plaintiff's time to file an amended complaint does not begin running until this order issues, plaintiff's motion for extensions will be denied as moot. 1
