Plaintiff,

Defendants.

ORDER GRANTING FOURTH MOTION 

TO EXTEND TIME TO FILE THIRD

AMENDED COMPLAINT, AND

DIRECTING THAT NO FURTHER

EXTENSIONS WILL BE GRANTED

(DOCUMENT #32)

SIXTY DAY DEADLINE

Plaintiff Robert Benyamini (“Plaintiff”) is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma

pauperis in this civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. On September 5, 2007, the Court

dismissed Plaintiff’s amended complaint and ordered Plaintiff to file a second amended complaint

within thirty days. Plaintiff filed a second amended complaint on September 10, 2007, but as noted

by the Court in a subsequent order, it was doubtful that complaint was responsive to the Court’s

order. Plaintiff thereafter sought an extension of time to comply with the Court’s order and was

granted thirty days by order filed October 5, 2007. On February 26, 2008, Plaintiff filed his fourth

motion to extend time to file a third amended complaint. 

Plaintiff has had more than six months within which to draft a third amended complaint.

As set forth in the Court’s complaint form, Plaintiff is not to make legal arguments or cite statutes

or cases. All that is required of Plaintiff is that he identify his claims and set forth the facts that

support those claims. The past incidents giving rise to this lawsuit occurred while Plaintiff was

housed at the Modesto County Jail. The incidents should be within Plaintiff’s memory and capable

of description in the complaint. Because Plaintiff is not required to make, and should not make,

legal arguments or cite cases or statutes, it is unclear why Plaintiff is unable to amend his complaint

without doing legal research in the law library, particularly when this Court has provided the

applicable legal standards and notice of the deficiencies in its orders to Plaintiff.

The Court will grant Plaintiff one final extension of time to file a third amended complaint.

If Plaintiff fails to file a third amended complaint, the Court will screen the second amended

complaint and any claims not cognizable will be dismissed from this action. If the second amended

complaint contains cognizable claims, the action will proceed on those claims. If the second

amended complaint does not contain any cognizable claims, this action will be dismissed.

Accordingly, it is HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. Plaintiff’s fourth motion for an extension of time, filed February 26, 2008, is

GRANTED;

2. Plaintiff shall file a third amended complaint in compliance with the Court’s order

within sixty (60) days from the date of service of this order; and

3. No further extensions of time to comply with the Court’s order of September 5,

2007, will be granted.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
