14

This is a civil rights action brought under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. This matter comes before

15

the Court at the present time on plaintiff’s third motion for an extension of time to file his more

16

definite statement. Defendants have filed a response to plaintiff’s motion indicating that they

17

have no objection to the brief extension requested. The Court, having reviewed plaintiff’s

18

motion, and the balance of the record, hereby finds and ORDERS as follows:

19

(1)

Plaintiff’s third motion for an extension of time to file his more definite statement

20

(Dkt. 79) is GRANTED. Plaintiff requests in his motion that he be granted a six day extension

21

of the previously established March 28, 2018 deadline to file his more definite statement.

22

Plaintiff cites limitations on law library access at the Clallam Bay Corrections Center as the

1

primary justification for the requested extension. Though the Court previously advised plaintiff

2

it would grant him no further extensions to file his more definite statement, the requested

3

extension is brief, defendants do not oppose the extension, and the extension appears warranted

4

under the circumstances cited by plaintiff in his motion.

5

(2)

The Clerk is directed to file plaintiff’s more definite statement which was

6

received by the Court on April 1, 2018. Defendants shall file an answer, or other responsive

7

pleading, to plaintiff’s second amended complaint not later than May 4, 2018.
