KEVIN LEE WILLIAMS,

Plaintiff,

v.

OAKLAND POLICE DEPARTMENT,

Defendant.

Case No. 15-cv-00976-MEJ 

ORDER GRANTING SECOND 

EXTENSION TO FILE AMENDED 

COMPLAINT

ORDER VACATING 6/4/15 CASE 

MANAGEMENT CONFERENCE

On March 23, 2015, the Court granted Plaintiff Kevin Lee Williams’ application to 

proceed in forma pauperis and dismissed his complaint with leave to amend by April 27, 2015. 

Dkt. No. 6. Plaintiff subsequently requested additional time, and the Court continued the deadline 

to May 22, 2015. Dkt. Nos. 7, 8. Plaintiff has now filed a second request to continue, stating that 

he is currently homeless and has filed only one lawsuit before. Dkt. No. 9. Good cause appearing,

the Court GRANTS Plaintiff’s request. Plaintiff shall file any amended complaint by June 19, 

2015. Plaintiff is advised that no extension of this deadline shall be granted absent a request 

which is supported by a well-documented showing of truly extenuating circumstances.

The Court reminds Plaintiff that he may wish to seek assistance from the Legal Help 

Center, a free service of the Volunteer Legal Services Program, by calling 415-782-8982, or by 

signing up for an appointment on the15th Floor of the Federal Courthouse in San Francisco, 450 

Golden Gate Avenue, San Francisco, California. At the Legal Help Center, you will be able to 

speak with an attorney who may be able to provide basic legal help but not representation. More 

information is available at http://cand.uscourts.gov/helpcentersf. The Court also recommends that 

Plaintiff obtain a copy of the Court’s Handbook for Litigants Without a Lawyer, which is available 

free of charge in the Clerk’s Office, or online at http://cand.uscourts.gov/prosehandbk. This
