ORDER
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.
22
(ECF No. 7).
23
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.
