Case No. 2:15-cv-00254-RFB-CWH
ORDER

11
12

Presently before the court is Plaintiff Derrick Simpson’s motion for enlargement of time

13

(ECF No. 11), filed on June 13, 2017. Plaintiff requests a 30-day extension of time to file his

14

application to proceed in forma pauperis, which was due on June 16, 2017. Having read and

15

considered Plaintiff’s motion, and good cause appearing for the extension, the court will grant

16

Plaintiff’s motion, making the deadline July 16, 2017.

17

The court notes that while Plaintiff’s motion for enlargement of time was pending, Plaintiff

18

filed his application to proceed in forma pauperis (ECF No. 12) on June 23, 2017. Given that it

19

was filed before July 16, 2017, the application is timely. The court will enter a separate order on

20

this application. If the court grants the application to proceed in forma pauperis, the court must

21

screen Plaintiff’s complaint under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2) to identify cognizable claims and dismiss

22

claims that are frivolous, malicious, fail to state a claim on which relief may be granted, or seek

23

monetary relief from a defendant who is immune from such relief.

IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that Plaintiff Derrick Simpson’s motion for enlargement of
time (ECF No. 11) is GRANTED.
DATED: June 27, 2017
