UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

GORDON C. REID,

Plaintiff,

v.

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, et al.,

Defendants.

CASE NO. 1:14-cv-1163-LJO-MJS (PC)

ORDER GRANTING PLAINTIFF’S 

SECOND MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF 

TIME (ECF NO. 35); AND

GRANTING PLAINTIFF’S MOTION FOR 

COPY OF FIRST AMENDED COMPLAINT

(ECF NO. 34)

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

rights and tort action brought pursuant to Bivens v. Six Unknown Named Agents, 403 

U.S. 388 (1971) and the Federal Tort Claims Act, 28 U.S.C. §§ 1346(b), 2671-2680. On 

July 28, 2015, the undersigned screened Plaintiff’s First Amended Complaint and issued 

an order directing Plaintiff to either file a second amended complaint or notify the Court 

of his willingness to proceed only on a cognizable First Amendment claim against 

Defendant Ontiveroz. (ECF No. 31.) 

Plaintiff thereafter filed a motion for extension of time to file a motion for 

reconsideration of the undersigned’s screening order. (ECF No. 35.) Plaintiff sought an 

extension because he was awaiting receipt of his personal property, including his legal 

file, following transfer to another institution. Plaintiff’s motion was granted on August 31,

2015 (ECF No. 33), and Plaintiff was directed to file a motion for reconsideration on or 

before September 5, 2015. 

Plaintiff has now filed a second motion for extension of time (ECF No. 35), as well

as a motion for a copy of his first amended complaint (ECF No. 34). It appears that 

Plaintiff has received his personal property, but some documents in his legal file, 

including his copy of the operative pleading in this action, that are necessary to his 

anticipated motion for reconsideration, are missing. 

Good cause appearing, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. Plaintiff’s second motion for extension of time (ECF No. 35) is GRANTED;

2. Plaintiff’s motion for a copy of the first amended complaint (ECF No. 34) is 

GRANTED;

3. Plaintiff shall file a motion for reconsideration on or before September 25, 

2015; and

4. The Clerk of Court shall send Plaintiff a copy of his First Amended Complaint 

(ECF No. 28).

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: September 1, 2015 /s/Michael J. Seng
