ORDER
This is a pro se civil rights action, filed pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. On August 11, 2010, the court granted plaintiff leave to proceed in forma pauperis (docket #3). In the same order, plaintiff was directed to file an amended complaint to cure the deficiencies of the original complaint (id.). On August 23, 2010, plaintiff filed a motion to extend time to file an amended complaint (docket #5). For good cause shown, the court will grant plaintiff's motion. Plaintiff has an additional forty-five (45) days from the date of entry of this order in which to submit his amended complaint.
Also on August 23, 2010, plaintiff filed a motion for copy or return of original document (docket #6). However, one copy of the original complaint was mailed to plaintiff with the court's order directing plaintiff to file an amended complaint (see docket #3). Accordingly, plaintiff's motion is denied.
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that plaintiff's motion to extend time to file an amended complaint (docket #5) is GRANTED. Within forty-five (45) days from the date of entry of this order, plaintiff SHALL FILE an amended complaint on the form provided by this court. Plaintiff's failure to file an amended complaint in compliance with this order may result in the immediate dismissal of this entire action.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that plaintiff's motion for copy or return of original document (docket #6) is DENIED.
DATED this 9 th day of September, 2010.
