UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

MARIO MOLINA, 

 Plaintiff,

 v.

K. HOLLAND, et al.,

 Defendants.

1:15-cv-01260-EPG (PC)

ORDER ON PLAINTIFF’S MOTION TO 

REQUEST INSTRUCTIONS TO BE 

EXCUSED FOR UNTIMELINESS

(ECF NO. 22)

Mario Molina (APlaintiff@) is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis in

this civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. ' 1983. Plaintiff filed the Complaint commencing 

this action on August 17, 2015. (ECF No. 1). On October 11, 2016, Plaintiff filed this motion, 

asking for a copy of the Complaint, as well as instructions on how to be excused for a delay in 

complying with an order signed by Magistrate Judge Gary S. August on August 5, 2015.

Given the age of the case, the Court will grant Plaintiff’s request for a copy of the 

Complaint. 

As to Plaintiff’s request for instructions, the Court notes that it generally is unable to 

respond in writing to individual inquiries regarding the required content of particular motions. 

Additionally, the deadline Plaintiff is referring to does not seem to exist. The deadline was 

allegedly created by an order signed by Magistrate Judge Gary S. Austin on August 5, 2015. 

However, this case was not filed until August 17, 2015. 

Further, the Court has reviewed the docket, and it does not appear that Plaintiff has 

missed any deadlines at this time. The next step in this case is for the Court to screen
