ORDER

Plaintiff, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, has filed a civil rights action pursuant to 42 

U.S.C. § 1983. Plaintiff claims that he was improperly classified as a gang member in prison, and 

after his release the wrongful gang classification was used by police to obtain search and arrest 

warrants. Presently before the court is plaintiff’s motion for an extension of time to file an 

amended complaint. (ECF No. 20.) In support of his motion plaintiff states that he is presently in 

an outside hospital unit because of his health condition, he is not allowed to visit the law library, 

and the paging system is very slow. Good cause appearing, the court will grant the motion for an 

extension of time.
