ORDER

VERNON S. BRODERICK, United States District Judge:
On June 11, 2021—after I granted several extensions—Defendant The City of New York
issued a letter in response to my Valentin order naming the Correction Officer initially identified
as “John Doe” in Plaintiff’s complaint. (Doc. 17.) That same day, I instructed Plaintiff to file an
amended complaint naming the John Doe Defendant on or before July 12, 2021, (Doc. 18)—a
30-day deadline that I had mentioned in previous orders, (see Docs. 12, 14). Plaintiff has missed
this deadline. In light of Plaintiff’s pro se status, and the multiple extensions Defendant
received, I believe Plaintiff is entitled additional time to file his amended complaint as
previously ordered. Accordingly, it is hereby:
ORDERED that Plaintiff is directed to file an amended complaint naming the John Doe
Defendant, identified at Document 17, on or before August 6, 2021. Plaintiff is warned that he
risks dismissal of his case for failure to prosecute if he fails to meet this new deadline. To the
extent Plaintiff intends to file his amended complaint but needs an extension, he is directed to
file a letter motion to that effect.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Clerk’s office is directed to mail a copy of this

Order to the pro se Plaintiff.
SO ORDERED.
Dated: July 16, 2021
New York, New York
