UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

KEVIN LYNELL KING,

Plaintiff,

v.

JEROME PRICE, et al.,

Defendants.

No. 2:16-cv-1998 KJM KJN P

ORDER

On October 13, 2016, plaintiff’s complaint was dismissed and he was granted thirty days 

in which to file an amended complaint. Subsequently, plaintiff filed three motions for extensions

of time. The first two motions sought additional time to file objections to findings and 

recommendations. However, no findings and recommendations have issued in this action. 

Rather, this action was referred to this court by Local Rule 302 pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1), 

and the undersigned screened plaintiff’s complaint by order. Thus, plaintiff’s first two motions 

are denied. 

Plaintiff’s third motion sought an extension of time to file an amended complaint, and 

requests that he be granted sixty days in which to file an amended complaint or, in the alternative, 

to stay these proceedings pending ruling on his objections to the findings and recommendations. 

However, as set forth above, no findings and recommendations have issued. Plaintiff is required 

to file an amended complaint or risk the dismissal of this action.
