UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

SUSAN MAE POLK,

 Plaintiff,

 vs.

MARY LATTIMORE, et al.,

 Defendants.

1:12-cv-01156-AWI-GSA-PC

ORDER DENYING PLAINTIFF’S 

MOTION FOR STAY 

(Doc. 62.)

THIRTY DAY DEADLINE TO FILE 

FOURTH AMENDED COMPLAINT

On April 6, 2015, the court issued an order requiring Plaintiff to file a Fourth Amended 

Complaint within thirty days. (Doc. 61.) On April 13, 2015, Plaintiff filed a motion for a stay 

of the proceedings in this case until she is provided access to a copy machine and U.S. mail. 

(Doc. 62.) Plaintiff asserts that she has finished preparing the Fourth Amended Complaint but 

has been refused access to a copy machine and has been directed to mail her documents to be 

copies to the library by internal mail.

Plaintiff has not shown good cause for the court to stay this action, and Plaintiff’s only 

remedy is not a stay of the action. Therefore, the motion to stay shall be denied. However, 

good cause appearing, Plaintiff shall be granted additional time to file the Fourth Amended 

Complaint.
