MEMORANDUM
AND ORDER

Defendants.
This matter is before the court on Plaintiff’s motion for reconsideration.
(Filing No. 11.) She requests that the court grant her an extension until May 10,
2017, to file an amended complaint. (Id.) She attached to her motion several emails, including an e-mail to her landlord on May 3, 2017, that someone
unlawfully entered her apartment and stole her “important papers.” (Id. at CM/ECF
p. 56.)
On March 17, 2017, the court granted Plaintiff’s request to file an amended
complaint. (Filing No. 8.) The court ordered Plaintiff to file an amended complaint
no later than April 16, 2017. (Id.) On April 17, 2017, the court granted Plaintiff’s
request to file an amended complaint on April 18, 2017. (See Docket Sheet.) On
April 18, 2017, the court granted Plaintiff’s request to file an amended complaint
on April 21, 2017, with the caveat that would be the last extension granted. (Id.)
On April 21, 2017, Plaintiff did not file an amended complaint because she missed
her bus. (Id.) She informed the court that she would file it first thing in the morning
on April 24, 2017. (Id.) On April 24, 2017, Plaintiff filed a motion for extension to
file an amended complaint, stating that individuals unlawfully entered her
apartment and stole the amended complaint that she had been working on. (Filing

No. 9.) The court granted Plaintiff an extension until May 5, 2017, to file an
amended complaint. (See Docket Sheet.) The court informed Plaintiff that no
further extensions would be allowed. (Id.) On May 4, 2017, Plaintiff requested that
the court allow her until May 8, 2017, to file an amended complaint. (Id.) When
she was informed that she must file it on May 5, 2017, because no further
extensions would be allowed, Plaintiff agreed to file it on May 5th. (Id.)
Now, the court is faced with Plaintiff’s recent motion. For nearly two
months, Plaintiff has failed to file an amended complaint. Nevertheless, due to her
pro se status, the court will allow Plaintiff to file an amended complaint no later
than May 10, 2017. Plaintiff is warned that the court will not entertain any further
written or verbal requests for extensions. If Plaintiff does not file an amended
complaint with the clerk’s office by 4:30 on May 10, 2017, the court will dismiss
this action without further notice to Plaintiff.
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that: Plaintiff’s motion for reconsideration
(Filing No. 11) is granted. Plaintiff shall file an amended complaint no later than
May 10, 2017.
Dated this 9th day of May, 2017.
BY THE COURT:
s/ Richard G. Kopf
Senior United States District Judge
