ORDER GRANTING SECOND

EX PARTE APPLICATION FOR

LEAVE TO FILE SAC

vs.

UNIVERSITY OF PHOENIX; DR.

SOPHIE HSIA; DR. DAVID L. HALL,

Defendants.

On November 25, 2009, the Court dismissed Plaintiff’s First Amended Complaint and

gave Plaintiff until January 4, 2010 to file an amended pleading. (Doc. No. 29.) On January

4, 2010, Plaintiff filed an ex parte application for extension fo time to file her Second

Amended Compliant (“SAC”). (Doc. No. 31.) Plaintiff, who was in a Ph.D. program at the

University of Phoenix, sought an extension to file an amended complaint until January 31,

2010, or later. (Id. at 2.) On January 21, 2010, the Court granted Plaintiff an extension of time

to file a SAC by March 1, 2010. (Doc. No. 32.) The Court explained that this extension

would give Plaintiff ample opportunity to file her amended pleading.1

 (Id.) Nonetheless,

Plaintiff did not file her SAC until March 16, 2010. (Doc. No. 34.) On March 16, 2010,

Plaintiff also filed an ex parte application for leave to file her SAC late. (Doc. No. 36.)

Plaintiff is pro se, and represents to the Court that she was unable to comply with the March

1, 2010 deadline due to her health condition. (Id. at 2.) The Court GRANTS Plaintiff’s ex

parte application for leave to file her SAC. While the Court is sympathetic to Plaintiff’s

circumstances, the Court expects all parties to comply with the filing deadlines in the future.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
