Plaintiff, a prisoner proceeding pro se, brings this civil rights action pursuant to 

42 U.S.C. § 1983. On June 28, 2012, the court directed plaintiff to file an amended complaint

within 30 days. On September 13, 2012, the court provided plaintiff additional time. Plaintiff 1

now seeks an additional extension of time (Doc. 20). Good cause appearing therefor, plaintiff’s

request is granted.

The September 13, 2012, order granted plaintiff’s August 31, 2012, motion for an

extension of time (Doc. 17). The Clerk of the Court will be directed to terminate this matter as a

pending motion.

1. The Clerk of the Court is directed to terminate Doc. 17 as a pending

motion; 

2. Plaintiff’s motion for an extension of time (Doc. 20) is granted; 

3. Plaintiff shall file an amended complaint within 30 days of the date of this

order; and

4. Plaintiff’s requests for orders relating to discovery (Doc. 20) is denied as

premature.
