ORDER GRANTING PLAINTIFF'S REQUEST FOR EXTENSION OF TIME :
By order dated October 25, 2019, the Court dismissed without prejudice Plaintiff's claims against the Town of Fallsburg, New York, and granted Plaintiff leave to amend his complaint to detail his false arrest and false imprisonment claims. (ECF No. 4.)
On December 26, 2019, Plaintiff filed a letter (ECF No. 5) requesting an extension of time to comply with the Court's October 25, 2019 order. Plaintiff indicates in his letter that it took time to find a lawyer to assist him with drafting the amendment, and that because of the holiday season, he was not able to finish the amendment by the deadline.

The Court grants Plaintiff until February 12, 2020, to file an amended complaint that complies with the standards set forth in the Court's October 25, 2019 order. If Plaintiff fails to comply within the time allowed, the action will be dismissed for failure to state a claim upon which relief may be granted. No further extensions will be granted.
The Clerk of Court is directed to mail a copy of this order to Plaintiff and note service on the docket. SO ORDERED. Dated: December 27, 2019
New York, New York
