Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding without counsel in an action brought under 42

§ 636; see also E.D. Cal. Local Rules, Appx. A, at (k)(4).

On November 19, 2012, the court dismissed plaintiff’s complaint for failure to state a

claim. The dismissal order explained the complaint’s deficiencies, gave plaintiff 30 days to file

an amended complaint correcting those deficiencies, and warned plaintiff that failure to file an

amended complaint would result in this action being dismissed for failure to state a claim. The

30-day period expired and plaintiff did not file an amended complaint. Accordingly, the court

dismissed this action failure to state a claim. 1915A(b); Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(b); E.D. Cal. Local

Rule 110. On the same day, however, plaintiff requested a 60 or 90-day extension of time to file
