On March 29, 2017, District Judge Kimberly J. Mueller issued an Order adopting
19
Findings and Recommendations and granting Plaintiff 14 days from the date of other order to file
20
a third amended complaint. Plaintiff Harrell now seeks a 21 day extension of time to comply
21
with the court’s order.
22
This has been pending in this court since July 7, 2014. ECF No. 1. Plaintiff has amended
23
his original complaint twice, each time expanding the numbers of pages included in the filing.
24
See ECF Nos. 10, 59. In Judge Mueller’s Order plaintiff is limited to filing a 25 page complaint
25
which should take considerably less time that his previous efforts. If plaintiff were to
26
straightforwardly obey the Court’s Order his Third Amended Complaint would be due on April
27
12, 2017. It is time to bring this matter to the point where it can be addressed on the merits.
28
Although the court would prefer not to extend any time, given the distance that plaintiff is from
1
1
this courthouse, and his apparent inability to use the ECF system for near instantaneous filing, the
2
court will nonetheless grant an addition 14 days to the time ordered by Judge Mueller and
3
plaintiff’s Third Amended Complaint shall be due to be filed on or before April 21, 2017.
