Case No. 2:14-cv-02140-APG-GWF
ORDER

14

This matter is before the Court on Plaintiff’s Motion for Extension of Time to File

15

Amended Complaint (#24), filed on July 17, 2015. This matter is also before the Court on

16

Plaintiff’s Motion for Extension of Copywork Limit (#22), filed on July 6, 2015.

17

Plaintiff moves to extend the deadline for filing an amended complaint. Plaintiff is required

18

to file an amended complaint by July 31, 2015. Plaintiff represents that he still has not received a

19

copy of the Court’s Screening Order (#15), and is unable to properly prepare an amended

20

complaint. On July 13, 2015, the Plaintiff was mailed a copy of the screening order (#15), along

21

with Court’s Order #14, a 42 U.S.C. § 1983 form, and instructions for that form. Because the

22

Plaintiff will need additional time to prepare the amended complaint upon receiving these

23

documents, the Plaintiff has sufficiently established good cause for the extension.

24

Plaintiff moves for an extension of his copywork limit by $350.00. Plaintiff represents that

25

he is currently unable to make copies of his legal documents because he has surpassed the $100.00

26

copywork limit by $250.00. Plaintiff represents that he needs an extension to continue litigation,

27

but does not indicate how he amassed $250.00 in debt, or why he needs an additional $100.00. The

28

Court will therefore deny the Plaintiff’s motion without prejudice. Accordingly,

1

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Plaintiff’s Motion for Extension of Time to File

2

Amended Complaint (#24) is granted. Plaintiff shall file an amended complaint no later than

3

August 31, 2015.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Plaintiff’s Motion for Extension of Copywork Limit
(#22) is denied without prejudice.
DATED this 21st day of July, 2015.
