UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

MICHAEL D. CAREY, 

Plaintiff, 

v. 

GREGORY BOOZA and 

CHRISTIANJUAREZ, 

Defendants. 

No. 2:24-cv-1717 AC P 

ORDER 

 Plaintiff is incarcerated and brings his civil case as a self-represented litigant proceeding 

in forma pauperis. On October 30, 2024, the undersigned rejected plaintiff’s first amended 

complaint pursuant to the screening process associated with in forma pauperis status and gave 

plaintiff 30 days to file a second amended complaint. ECF No. 13. Plaintiff requested an 

extension of time to file the second amended complaint, and that request was granted. ECF No. 

17. Now before the court is plaintiff’s second request for a 60-day extension of time to file his 

second amended complaint. ECF No. 18. Plaintiff states that he is attempting to find counsel, 

and that his conditions of incarceration make the second extension of time necessary. 

 The court will grant plaintiff’s motion but cautions plaintiff that no further extensions will 

be granted unless truly exceptional circumstances are presented. Conditions of incarceration and 

trying to find counsel are not exceptional circumstances.
