DISCUSSION

14

On March 23, 2017, this Court issued an order directing Plaintiff to file a fully complete

15

application to proceed in forma pauperis or pay the full $400 filing fee within thirty (30) days

16

of that order. (ECF No. 5 at 2). On April 24, 2017, Plaintiff filed a motion for an extension of

17

time to file his application to proceed in forma pauperis. (ECF No. 6). Plaintiff seeks an

18

extension of time to file his application to proceed in forma pauperis until after the “first day of

19

May 2017" due to his scheduled parole release date. (Id. at 1). Plaintiff is awaiting the return

20

of his financial certificate but recognizes that he will not have to submit one once he is

21

released on parole. (Id.) Plaintiff also files a motion for leave to file an amended complaint.

(ECF No. 7).

The Court grants Plaintiff’s motion for an extension of time to file his application to

24

proceed in forma pauperis on or before Friday, May 12, 2017. If Plaintiff chooses to file an

25

application to proceed in forma pauperis while on parole, Plaintiff should submit an application

26

to proceed in forma pauperis for non-prisoners. If Plaintiff’s parole release date changes to

27

a later date, Plaintiff should submit an application to proceed in forma pauperis for prisoners

28

on or before May 12, 2017.
The Court grants Plaintiff’s motion to file an amended complaint. Plaintiff shall file an

1

amended complaint on or before Friday, May 12, 2017.
