ORDER
This matter is before the Court on Plaintiff’s Motion For Extension Of Time To
File A First Amended Complaint. (Doc. 15.) This Court entered a previous order
permitting Plaintiff to amend his original complaint and giving him until October 28,
2011 to do so. (Doc. 14.) In his motion, Plaintiff asks the Court for an extension of time
within which to file his amended complaint. In support of the requested extension,
Plaintiff states he has had difficulty in gaining access to the law library at Gulf
Correctional Institution, the prison where he is incarcerated. Plaintiff does not specify
the length of the requested extension so the Court will give Plaintiff until November 30,
2011 to prepare and file his amended complaint. Plaintiff is cautioned no further
extensions will be granted absent extraordinary circumstances.
Accordingly, it is hereby ORDERED:
1.

Plaintiff’s Motion For Extension Of Time To File A First Amended
Complaint (Doc. 15) is GRANTED.

2.

Plaintiff shall complete the civil rights complaint form for prisoner litigants
for actions arising under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 in full and file on or before
November 30, 2011.
