EXTENSION OF TIME TO FILE FIRST 

AMENDED COMPLAINT

Plaintiff James Richard Ryan II, a state civil detainee proceeding pro se and in forma 

pauperis, filed this civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. §§ 1983, 1985 on July 24, 2015. He 

consented to the jurisdiction of the Magistrate Judge on September 18, 2015. 

On May 18, 2016, the Court issued a screening order dismissing the complaint for failure 

to state a claim. Plaintiff was directed to file an amended complaint within thirty days. Over 

thirty days passed and Plaintiff failed to comply. The order dismissing the complaint advised that 

failure to file an amended complaint would result in dismissal of the action. Accordingly, on June 

24, 2016, the Court issued an order directing Plaintiff to show cause why the action should not be 

dismissed for failure to state a claim. 

On June 29, 2016, Plaintiff responded to the Court’s screening order. Plaintiff stated he

the last pages providing Plaintiff with further instructions. Plaintiff states he believes he has thirty 

days to file an amended complaint but he requests clarification concerning the incomplete 

document. Based on the foregoing, the Court finds good cause to vacate the order to show cause. 

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED:

1) The order to show cause of June 24, 2016, is hereby VACATED;

2) The Clerk of Court is DIRECTED to re-serve Plaintiff with a copy of the Court’s First 

Screening Order of May 18, 2016 (ECF No. 7); and

3) Plaintiff is GRANTED thirty (30) days from the date of service of this order to file a 

First Amended Complaint.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
