No. 1:19-cv-01156-DAD-SKO

ORDER GRANTING PLAINTIFF’S MOTION 

FOR EXTENSION OF TIME

(Doc. 10)

Plaintiff, proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis, filed this case on August 23, 2019. (Doc. 

1.) The Court screened Plaintiff’s complaint on September 20, 2019 and allowed Plaintiff twentyone days to file an amended complaint. (Doc. 4.) On December 27, 2019, following an order to 

show cause and Plaintiff’s response, (Docs. 7, 8), the Court granted Plaintiff an extension of time 

to file her amended complaint until January 27, 2020. (See Doc. 9.) On January 31, 2020, Plaintiff 

filed a motion for a further extension of time, stating that she needs “more time to show hard copy 

of the treatment [she] experienced at Macy’s[.]” (Doc. 10.) 

Due to Plaintiff’s pro se status, the Court finds good cause and will allow Plaintiff an 

additional extension of time to file her amended complaint. The Court also finds excusable neglect
