DUWAYNE L. TERRY, Plaintiff, v. TINA STAMFORD et al., Defendants.
ORDER
JESSE M. FURMAN, UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE.
In a letter dated January 30, 2022, but received by the Court only yesterday, Plaintiff seeks a 90-day extension of the deadline to file an amended complaint. See ECF No. 110. Plaintiff's request is GRANTED. Plaintiff's amended complaint is due May 2, 2022. Plaintiff should note, however, that further extension requests are unlikely to be granted.
In light of Plaintiff's extension request, the Court's February 9, 2022 Order to Show Cause, ECF No. 109, is hereby VACATED. Plaintiff need not respond to that Order.
Finally, Plaintiff is reminded to update the Court should his address change again. Plaintiff is also reminded that, in light of the current global health crisis, parties proceeding without counsel are encouraged (so as to avoid delays caused by the mail) to submit all filings as PDFs by email to Temporary_Pro_Se_Filing@nysd.uscourts.gov. Pro se parties who are unable to use email may still submit documents by regular mail to the Pro Se Office, Thurgood Marshall Courthouse, 40 Centre Street, Room 105, New York, New York 10007, or in person at the drop box located at the U.S. Courthouse at 500 Pearl Street. In either case, however, there may be significant delays before such filings are received and/or docketed. Defendants are reminded that all documents filed in this case must be promptly served on Plaintiff, and proof of service must be docketed. Relatedly, if Plaintiff would like to receive communications in this case electronically, rather than relying on the mail, he is encouraged to fill out the attached consent form and to return it to the Pro Se Intake Unit.
The Clerk of Court is directed to mail a copy of this Order to Plaintiff.
SO ORDERED.
