ORDER
I. DISCUSSION
On January 6, 2016, this Court entered a screening order and allowed Plaintiff to file an amended complaint within 30 days. (ECF No. 14.) On March 2, 2016, the Court granted Plaintiff's first motion for an extension of time to file his amended complaint. (ECF No. 21.) On March 7, 2016, the Court granted Plaintiff's request for appointment of counsel (ECF No. 22) and counsel was appointed on April 13, 2016 (ECF No. 23).

Having reviewed and considered the motion, and good cause appearing, the Court will grant the motion for an extension of time to allow Plaintiff's newly-appointed counsel sufficient time to prepare an amended complaint. Plaintiff must file his amended complaint no later than June 2, 2016. /// /// /// ///
