UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

SENARBLE CAMPBELL,

Plaintiff,

v.

SANTILLAN, 

Defendant.

No. 1:16-cv-00587 DLB PC

ORDER REGARDING PLAINTIFF’S 

MOTION TO STAY ACTION 

(Document 8)

ORDER GRANTING PLAINTIFF AN 

EXTENTION OF TIME

Plaintiff Senarble Campbell (“Plaintiff”), a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma 

pauperis, filed this civil rights action on April 26, 2016. The Court screened Plaintiff’s complaint 

on June 17, 2016, and dismissed it with leave to amend. Plaintiff was ordered to file an amended 

complaint within thirty (30) days of the date of service of the order.

On July 8, 2016, Plaintiff filed a motion requesting that this action be temporarily 

suspended. He states that he will not be able to meet the deadline for filing an amended 

complaint for a few reasons, but most importantly, he is not “mentally stable enough to pursue 

this legal complaint rationally.” ECF No. 8, at 1. 

The Court will not indefinitely stay an action, and Plaintiff’s motion is therefore DENIED. 

However, the Court will GRANT Plaintiff additional time to file his amended complaint. 

Plaintiff can also request additional extensions if he cannot meet the set deadlines.
