frame, the Court issued an order to show cause why the action should not be dismissed for failure to 

follow the Court’s order.

Angeles County Jail and housed there for most of the time during which he was supposed to file his 

amended complaint. Plaintiff also states that when he returned, his legal paperwork was gone. 

Plaintiff requests a copy of certain documents and an extension of time.

The order to show cause is DISCHARGED. Plaintiff is granted a thirty (30) day extension of 

time within which to file his amended complaint pursuant to the Court’s April 20, 2015, order.1 No 

further extensions will be given absent exceptional circumstances.

The Clerk of Court is ORDERED to send Plaintiff copies of Documents 1, 19 and 43.

Failure to file an amended complaint may result in dismissal of this action. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Plaintiff requests a sixty (60) day extension of time. However, given the number of extensions the Court has already 

granted, the Court will only grant thirty (30) days at this time.
