CASE NO. C14-5897 RBL-JRC

The District Court has referred this 42 U.S.C. § 1983 civil rights action to United States
Magistrate Judge J. Richard Creatura pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(A) and (B), and local
Magistrate Judge Rules MJR1, MJR3 and MJR4.
Currently before the Court is plaintiff’s second motion asking for additional time to file
an amended complaint (Dkt. 7). The motion is noted for February 6, 2015. The Court has not
ordered service in this action. Defendants have not appeared and will not be responding to
plaintiff’s motion. Accordingly, the Court has no reason to wait until the noting date to enter an
order regarding plaintiff’s pending motion.

ORDER - 1

1

The Court entered the order directing plaintiff to amend his complaint on November 18,

2 2014 (Dkt. 3). The Court gave plaintiff over one month to comply with that order (id.). Plaintiff
3 filed a motion for additional time two days before the amended complaint was due (Dkt. 5). On
4 January 20, 2015, the Court granted plaintiff’s motion giving him until February 13, 2015 to file
5 his amended complaint (Dkt. 6). That same day, January 20, 2015, plaintiff filed a second
6 motion asking for additional time to file his amended complaint (Dkt. 7).
7

Plaintiff’s amended complaint is due on or before February 13, 2015. Plaintiff has not

8 shown good cause to extend this deadline further. Accordingly, the second motion for additional
9 time to file an amended complaint is denied.

Dated this 22nd day of January, 2015.
