v.

No. 2:17-cv-968-GEB-EFB PS

ORDER

WAL-MART ASSOC. INC., WAL-MART
STORE #3708, and MIKE PHILLIPS,
Defendants.
On January 10, 2018, the court dismissed plaintiff’s amended complaint, explained the

17

deficiencies therein, and granted plaintiff thirty days to file an amended complaint. ECF No. 4.

18

Plaintiff now requests an extension of time in which to file an amended complaint. ECF No. 5.

19

The request is granted.

20

The court notes that preparing an amended complaint does not require extensive legal

21

research, as it should not contain any legal citations, but only a short and plain statement of the

22

facts showing that plaintiff is entitled to relief. Accordingly, plaintiff’s request for an extension

23

of time (ECF No. 5) is granted, and plaintiff shall file an amended complaint by no later than

24

March 12, 2018. Failure to file an amended complaint will result in a recommendation that this

25

action be dismissed. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(b).
