Plaintiff is a prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis in a civil rights

On February 27, 2017, the Court screened Plaintiff’s complaint. (ECF No. 10.) 

Plaintiff was directed to either file an amended complaint or a notice of willingness to 

proceed on his cognizable claims within thirty days. (Id.) On March 6, 2017, Plaintiff filed 

the instant motion for a sixty day extension of time to file an amended complaint. (ECF 

No. 12.) He also asks the Court to resend a copy of his original complaint.

Good cause appearing, those requests will be granted.

Typically, an extension of an additional thirty days would be sufficient for a 

Plaintiff to decide whether to amend and actually to amend if that is his choice. This is 

especially true here where the court has identified the deficiencies in Plaintiff’s pleading

and what is needed to correct them. Inasmuch as the Court is granting the Plaintiff’s 

request for an extended sixty day extension, it will be Plaintiff’s last extension of time 

unless some new and presently unforeseeable good cause arises hereafter.

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. Plaintiff’s motion for an extension of time (ECF No. 12) is GRANTED; 

2. Plaintiff is granted sixty days from the date of service of this order in which to

file a first amended complaint; and

3. The Clerk of Court is directed to resend Plaintiff a copy of his first complaint 

(ECF No. 1) and the Court’s first screening order (ECF No. 10).

IT IS SO ORDERED.
