MEMORANDUM
AND ORDER

On August 18, 2016, the court ordered Plaintiff to file an amended complaint by
September 15, 2016, or face dismissal of this action. (Filing No. 15.) Having not received
an amended complaint as ordered, the court dismissed this action without prejudice and
entered judgment on September 21, 2016. (Filing Nos. 16, 17.) On September 28, 2016,
Plaintiff filed a motion requesting an extension of time to file an amended complaint. (Filing
No. 18.)
Plaintiff’s Motion for Extension of Time will be denied. Plaintiff’s request for an
extension is untimely. It was filed after the expiration of Plaintiff’s deadline for submitting
an amended complaint, and after the court had entered judgment. Moreover, Plaintiff has not
offered any grounds for awarding him relief under Fed. R. Civ. P. 60.
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that Plaintiff’s Motion for Extension of Time [Filing
No. 18] is denied.
DATED this 4th day of October, 2016.
BY THE COURT:
s/ Richard G. Kopf
Senior United States District Judge
