No. 4:17-CV-750 AGF

MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
This matter is before the Court on Plaintiff’s motion for extension of time (ECF
No. 35). On February 23, 2017, the Court 1 ordered Plaintiff to file an amended complaint
that complies with Rule 8 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. Since then, Plaintiff
has filed seventeen motions or other documents, none of which appear to have any basis
in law or fact.
On March 10, 2017, the Court granted his motion for extension of time to file the
amended complaint, providing Plaintiff more than two months to file his amended
complaint. As such the Court believes that Plaintiff has had ample time to comply with
this requirement, especially in light of the numerous other filings by Plaintiff. Plaintiff
needs to focus on presenting his factual allegations to the Court in a manner that complies
with the Rules, rather than filing frivolous notices and motions. Nevertheless, the Court
will grant a limited additional period of time to Plaintiff to file an amended complaint.

The case, at the time, was assigned to another judge of this Court, and has since been
transferred to the undersigned.

Accordingly,
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Plaintiff’s motion for extension of time [ECF
No. 35] is GRANTED in part.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Plaintiff must file his amended complaint that
complies with Rule 8 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure by June 15, 2017.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that all of Plaintiff’s pending motions are
DENIED as frivolous, and Plaintiff is advised that the Court will not entertain any
similar motions filed by Plaintiff at this time.
Dated this 12th day of May, 2017.

AUDREY G. FLEISSIG
UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
