No. 2:17-cv-1623-KJM-EFB P

v.

ORDER

BAUGHMAN, et al.,

15

Defendants.

16
Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding without counsel in an action brought under 42

17
18

U.S.C. § 1983. On February 12, 2019, the court dismissed plaintiff’s complaint with leave to

19

amend within 30 days. ECF No. 19. Plaintiff subsequently filed a request for extension of time,

20

and by oversight, the court granted it only with respect to the period for filing objections to

21

pending findings and recommendations. ECF No. 23. In an abundance of caution, the court will

22

grant plaintiff another opportunity to file an amended complaint in accordance with the February

23

12, 2019 screening order.
Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that plaintiff has 30 days to file an amended

24
25

complaint. The court notes, however, that filing an amended complaint should not require

26

extensive research. An amended complaint should not include legal citations and need not

contain unnecessarily detailed factual allegations. Absent good cause, the court is not inclined to

2

further extend this deadline. Failure to comply with this order will result in a recommendation of

3

dismissal.
