Defendant(s).

14

Presently before the court is plaintiff James Cohan’s second motion to extend time to file
an amended complaint. (ECF No. 10).

15

On October 3, 2017, Magistrate Judge Koppe granted plaintiff’s application to proceed in

16

forma pauperis and dismissed plaintiff’s complaint with leave to amend. (ECF No. 5). The order

17

gave plaintiff until November 3, 2017 to file an amended complaint. On October 17, 2017, plaintiff

18

mailed a pro se filing to the court requesting an extension of time to file his amended complaint.

19

(ECF No. 8). The court granted plaintiff’s motion. (ECF No. 9).

20

On December 1, 2017, plaintiff mailed a second pro se filing to the court requesting an

21

extension of time to file his amended complaint. (ECF No. 10). According to plaintiff’s motion,

22

he has attempted to diligently pursue amending his complaint but has run into trouble gathering

23

evidence. Id. Given his self-representation, he submits that he currently does not have enough

24

time to correct the deficiencies articulated in the October 3, 2017, order. Id. He requests until

25

February 1, 2018, to file an amended complaint. Id.

26

Good cause appearing,

27

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that plaintiff’s motion to extend time to file an amended
