No. CV 10-0117-PHX-RCB (ECV)

ORDER

Raymond V. Gutierrez and four other inmates confined in the La Palma Corrections

Center (LPCC), a Corrections Corporation of America (CCA) facility in Eloy, Arizona, filed

a joint pro se Civil Rights Complaint by a Prisoner under 28 U.S.C. § 1983, Torrez v.

Corrections Corp. of America, No. CV09-2298-PHX-MHM (MHB), doc.# 1.1 The Court

severed that action into separate cases and ordered a copy of the Complaint from CV09-2298

be filed in each of the separate cases. (Doc.# 1, 2.) In an Order filed on May 13, 2010, the

Court dismissed the Plaintiff’s Complaint with leave to file an amended complaint within 30

days. (Doc.# 7.) The Court dismissed the Complaint because Plaintiff failed to comply with

the Instructions for completing the court-approved form complaint and he included numerous

allegations concerning violations of other inmates’ rights rather than setting forth facts to

support that his rights had been violated. (Id.) Plaintiff has filed a motion for a 60-day

extension of time to file an amended complaint. (Doc.# 9.) The Court will grant Plaintiff

a 30-day extension. 

Plaintiff seeks the extension to “research[] the various procedural and legal issues.”

(Id. at 3.) The factual basis for any claim Plaintiff intends to include in an amended

complaint are presumably already known to Plaintiff and do not depend on legal research.

Further, the Court previously informed Plaintiff that he should follow the Instructions for

completing the court-approved form complaint. Specifically, in an amended complaint,

Plaintiff should state the federal or statutory right that he believes was violated and allege the

facts that he believes support that a particular defendant was involved in the violation,

including when and how. Plaintiff should repeat the process for each violation he alleges.

The Court will grant Plaintiff an additional 30 days within which to do so.
