Plaintiff has requested a sixty-day extension of time to file his application to proceed in forma pauperis. He also seeks leave to file an amended complaint. The court will grant the requests; however, plaintiff is cautioned that no further extensions of time will be granted. If plaintiff is not prepared to proceed with this action, he may request that this case be voluntarily dismissed without prejudice and there will be no assessment of the filing fee.

3. Plaintiff's failure to comply with this order will result in a recommendation that this action be dismissed without prejudice; and
4. The Clerk of the Court is directed to provide plaintiff with the court's form complaint for a § 1983 action.
