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.
