Currently before the Court is Plaintiff’s third motion for an extension of time to file an 

amended complaint, filed December 1, 2023. (ECF No. 15.)

action should not be dismissed for failure to file an amended complaint. (ECF No. 14.) 

Inasmuch as Plaintiff has now filed a request to extend the time to file an amended complaint, the 

Court will vacate the order to show cause. 

Upon consideration of Plaintiff’s motion, Plaintiff is granted until January 8, 2023, to file 

an amended complaint in accordance with the Court’s August 9, 2023, screening order. 

However, Plaintiff is advised that no further extensions of time will be granted, absent a detailed 

factual showing of what efforts Plaintiff has engaged in to file an amended complaint, not present
