v.

ORDER DENYING MOTION TO AMEND 

AS MOOT

(ECF NO. 24)

ORDER GRANTING PLAINTIFF’S FIRST 

MOTION TO EXTEND TIME TO FILE 

SECOND AMENDED COMPLAINT

(ECF NO. 27)

THIRTY-DAY DEADLINE

Plaintiff is a prisoner proceeding pro se in a civil rights action pursuant to 42 

U.S.C. ' 1983. On November 21, 2016, the Court granted Plaintiff’s motion to dismiss 

the first amended complaint and granted Plaintiff leave to amend within thirty days. (ECF 

No. 26.) Simultaneous with the signing of that order, Plaintiff filed a motion to amend and 

lodged a proposed amended complaint. (ECF Nos. 24 and 25.) Therein, Plaintiff sought 

to add additional defendants to the first amended complaint which, as stated, has been 

dismissed with leave to amend. 

Additionally, on December 29, 2016, Plaintiff filed a motion to extend time to file

his second amended complaint, as ordered in the Court’s November 21, 2016 order.

Because Plaintiff already has been granted leave to amend, his motion to amend 

(ECF No. 24) is HEREBY DENIED as moot. Because Plaintiff is in the process of 

preparing a second amended complaint (ECF No. 25), the lodged proposed amended 

complaint will not be filed. 

Because Plaintiff has presented good cause, his motion for extension of time to 

file a second amended complaint (ECF No. 27) is HEREBY GRANTED. Plaintiff is 

granted thirty days from the date of service of this order in which to file second amended 

complaint.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
