No. C 11-03463 SBA (PR)

Plaintiff,

ORDER GRANTING PLAINTIFF'S
REQUEST FOR EXTENSION OF TIME
TO FILE AMENDED COMPLAINT AND
DENYING HIS MOTION TO PLACE
THE CASE IN ABEYANCE

v.
RANDY GROUNDS, et al.,
Defendants.

8

/

9
Plaintiff, a state prisoner, filed the instant pro se prisoner complaint under 42 U.S.C. § 1983.

United States District Court
For the Northern District of California

11

The Court has dismissed Plaintiff's complaint with leave to amend.
To date, Plaintiff's amended complaint is overdue. Before the Court is Plaintiff's motion for

12
13

an extension of time to file an amended complaint due to his lack of access to the prison's law

14

library. (Docket no. 8.) On June 21, 2012, Plaintiff filed a document entitled, "Notice And Request

15

to Place Case in Abeyance." (Docket no. 9.) Plaintiff again claims that he lacks access to the

16

prison's law library, but he now requests that "the case be placed in abeyance." (June 21, 2012 Mot.

17

at 2.)

18

Plaintiff's June 21, 2012 filing appears to request an indefinite extension of time in which to

19

file his amended complaint. This request (docket no. 9) is DENIED. The Court, however,

20

GRANTS Plaintiff's motion for an extension of time (docket no. 8), and the time in which Plaintiff is

21

permitted to file his amended complaint is extended up to and including twenty-eight (28) days

22

from the date of this Order.

23
24

If Plaintiff fails to file an amended complaint by the deadline above, this action will be
dismissed.

25

This Order terminates Docket nos. 8 and 9.

26

IT IS SO ORDERED.
