striking the original complaint for violating the federal pleading rules on joinder found in
Fed. R. Civ. P. 18, 20, and directing Lindell to file an amended complaint within thirty days.
(Dkt. # 9). Lindell has now filed a motion for clarification or reconsideration regarding the
joinder of his claims and he requests an extension of time, up to and including January 30,

reconsideration is denied as unnecessary. However, his motion for extension of time will be
granted.
