This matter comes before the Court on Plaintiff’s Motion for Extension of Time to File
Amended Complaint (#13), filed on June 26, 2014.

On May 28, 2014, the Court screened and dismissed Plaintiff’s Amended Complaint (#9)

17

without prejudice for failing to state a claim upon which relief can be granted. See Dkt. #12.

Plaintiff was given until June 26, 2014 to file his second Amended Complaint. Id. Plaintiff now

person, Plaintiff has persistently pursued his claim against Defendant. He alleges that he

23

inadvertently miscalculated the time within which to file his second amended complaint. Plaintiff

substantially establishes good cause for an extension. Accordingly,
