CASE MANAGEMENT CONFERENCE

Re: Dkt. Nos. 10, 12

On October 11, 2018, Plaintiff Troy King filed this case against Defendant Hospital 

Couriers Nevada, LLC. (Dkt. No. 1.) Plaintiff also moved to proceed in forma pauperis ("IFP 

Application"). (Dkt. No. 4.) On October 26, 2018, the Court granted Plaintiff's IFP Application. 

(Dkt. No. 5.) Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2), the Court then screened Plaintiff's complaint 

and found it deficient, finding that Plaintiff had failed to set forth a "short and plain statement of 

the claim showing that the pleader is entitled to relief" and that Plaintiff had failed to establish 

subject matter jurisdiction. (Dkt. No. 8.) The Court ordered Plaintiff to file an amended complaint 

that provided the legal and factual basis for all claims by January 25, 2019. Id. at 3. Plaintiff did 

not timely file an amended complaint, so the Court issued an order to show cause on February 14, 

2019. (Dkt. No. 10.) Therein, Plaintiff was ordered to respond by March 15, 2019 and explain why 

his case should not be dismissed for failure to prosecute, and why he did not file the amended 

complaint by January 25, 2019. Id. Additionally, Plaintiff was ordered to file his first amended 

complaint. Id.

On March 14, 2019, Plaintiff filed a response to the order to show cause and explained that 

he was evicted from his residence and was homeless, which resulted in problems receiving mail, 

so he did not realize that the screening order and order to show cause were issued until he met

with the Legal Help Center on March 12, 2019. (Dkt. No. 12 at 1.) Plaintiff then requested an 

additional 30 days to file the amended complaint. Id. at 2. Plaintiff simultaneously filed a notice of 

change of address form. (Dkt. No. 13.)

Accordingly, the Court DISCHARGES the February 14, 2019 order to show cause, and 

GRANTS Plaintiff’s request for an extension of time to file the first amended complaint. Plaintiff 

shall file the first amended complaint on or before April 22, 2019.
