KEVIN DONALD POPE,

Case No. 2:15-cv-02033-MMD-GWF
ORDER

DISCUSSION

15

On April 28, 2016, the Court issued a screening order allowing certain claims to

16

proceed and dismissing other claims without prejudice, with leave to amend. If Plaintiff chose

17

to file an amended complaint, he was to file it within 30 days from the date of entry of the

18

screening order. (ECF No. 6 at 16-17). On May 27, 2016, Plaintiff wrote a letter to the Court

19

indicating that he was in the process of being transported to a new facility and currently in

20

custody in Oklahoma. (ECF No. 7). The Court will construe this as a motion for extension of

21

time to file an amended complaint and will grant the request. Plaintiff shall have until July 27,

22

2016, to file an amended complaint. If Plaintiff does not file an amended complaint by that

23

date, this case will proceed on the claims as outlined in the screening order (ECF No. 3) and

24

the other claims will be dismissed, without prejudice.
