UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

LOREN LAMONTÉ QUALLS, an 

individual,

Plaintiff,

v.

THE REGENTS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF 

CALIFORNIA, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No.: 1:13-cv-00649-LJO-SMS

ORDER DENYING PLAINTIFF'S MOTION 

FOR EXTENSION OF TIME IN WHICH TO 

FILE THIRD AMENDED COMPLAINT

Doc. 32

Over one year ago, on May 3, 2013, Plaintiff Loren Lamonté Qualls filed the original 

complaint in this matter. Following multiple screenings by the Court and multiple amendments, on 

November 22, 2013, the Court authorized service of a modified version of Plaintiff's second 

amended complaint. On February 24, 2-014, Defendants moved to dismiss. On April 23, 2014, the 

Court adopted the findings and recommendations of the Magistrate Judge in part and ordered 

Plaintiff to submit his amended complaint on or before May 23, 2014. Plaintiff now moves for an 

extension of time in which to file his Third Amended Complaint, stating only that "an extension of 

time is reasonable and necessary." This vague allegation does not constitute good cause.

Accordingly, the Court hereby DENIES Plaintiff's motion for an extension of time. Because 

Plaintiff is a pro se litigant, however, it is unlikely that this order will reach Plaintiff before the May 

23, 2014 deadline for submission of the Third Amended Complaint. Therefore, the Court will accept

IT IS SO ORDERED.
