UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

VAN KEYSHONE ROLLEN, 

Plaintiff, 

v. 

A. HICKS, 

Defendant. 

No. 2:24-cv-1303 TLN AC P 

ORDER 

 By order filed June 13, 2024, the complaint was screened and found to not state a claim 

for relief. ECF No. 8. Plaintiff was given an opportunity to file an amended complaint, provided 

a complaint form, and cautioned that failure to amend the complaint would result in a 

recommendation that this action be dismissed. Id. at 7. Plaintiff then requested and was granted 

two thirty-day extensions of time to file an amended complaint. ECF Nos. 13, 18. The time to 

file an amended complaint then passed without plaintiff filing an amended complaint or seeking a 

further extension of time, though he did request a copy of the complaint. ECF No. 19. The court 

granted the request for a copy of the complaint and provided plaintiff an additional twenty-one 

days to file an amended complaint. ECF No. 20. In granting plaintiff that extension, the court 

cautioned that no further extensions of time would be granted absent a showing of extraordinary 

cause and that failure to file an amended complaint would result in a recommendation that this 

action be dismissed. Id.

Plaintiff has now filed a third motion for a thirty-day extension of time to file an amended 

complaint, asserting that he cannot make the deadline because he is in administrative segregation 

and cannot access the library to obtain a complaint form. ECF No. 21. In light of plaintiff’s 

representation that he does not have access to a complaint form due to his recent placement in 

administrative segregation, he will be granted a brief extension of time, and the Clerk of the Court 

will be directed to send plaintiff another complaint form. Plaintiff is cautioned that no further 

extensions of time will be granted. 

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that: 

 1. Plaintiff’s motion for an extension of time (ECF No. 21) is GRANTED in part; 

 2. Plaintiff is granted fourteen days from the service of this order to file an amended 

complaint; 

 3. The Clerk of the Court is directed to send plaintiff a copy of the prisoner complaint 

form used in this district; and 

4. Failure to file an amended complaint will result in a recommendation that this action be 

dismissed.
