pleadings. If Plaintiff needs additional time to obtain copies of his pleadings, then he needs to file 

a motion for extension of time prior to any deadline provided by the Court. 

Generally, the Clerk’s Office will provide copies for Plaintiff at a cost of $0.50 per page. 

The Court will make an exception in this instance and will direct the Clerk’s Office to provide a 

copy of the first amended complaint at no charge. However, Plaintiff is advised that any further 

copies will need to be paid for by Plaintiff. 

Accordingly, it is HEREBY ORDERED that the Clerk’s Office shall mail a copy of the 

first amended complaint, filed December 6, 2013, to Plaintiff. Plaintiff is granted thirty (30)

days from the date of service of this order in which to file a second amended complaint.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
