ORDER GRANTING PLAINTIFF'S MOTION

FOR CONTINUANCE (Doc. 20)

Bennie Ray Brown is a state prisoner proceeding pro se with a civil rights action under 42

U.S.C. § 1983.

On November 6, 2003, Mr. Brown filed a complaint alleging various constitutional

violations. (Doc. 1). On May 9, 2005, the Court issued an order dismissing the complaint for failure

to state cognizable claims, but granted Plaintiff thirty days within which to file an amended

complaint addressing the concerns expressed in the Court's May 9, 2005 order. (Doc. 19). On May

20, 2005, Plaintiff filed the instant motion to continue, which the Court construes as a motion for an

extension of time. (Doc. 20).

Plaintiff alleges that he needs an additional sixty days to respond to the order of May 20,

2005; although Petitioner's reasons for needing the additional time are not clearly stated, it appears

that Plaintiff faces time constraints due to the press of other cases he has filed. Because Plaintiff has

not clearly stated grounds that justify a sixty-day extension, the Court will grant a thirty-day

extension within which Plaintiff must file his amended complaint.

Accordingly, GOOD CAUSE appearing therefore, the Court HEREBY GRANTS in part

Plaintiff's Motion for Continuance. (Doc. 32). Plaintiff is granted thirty days from the date of

service of this order to file his amended complaint.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
