Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding pro se with a civil rights action pursuant to

42 U.S.C. § 1983. By order filed July 25, 2007, plaintiff’s claims were severed from those of

seven other inmates and plaintiff was granted thirty days in which to file an individual amended

complaint and an application to proceed in forma pauperis. 

On August 28, 2007, plaintiff filed a request for an extension of time to file an

amended complaint pursuant to the court’s order of July 25, 2007. Good cause appearing,

plaintiff’s request will be granted. Plaintiff has also requested a court order requiring that he be

provided a minimum of ten hours a week of access to the prison law library. Plaintiff’s request is

court has directed the Office of the Attorney General to respond to the allegations concerning
