UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK CLARENCE LIVINGSTON,

Plaintiff,

-v- CIVIL ACTION NO.: 20 Civ. 2009 (JPC) (SLC) CITY OF NEW YORK et al., ORDER Defendants.

SARAH L. CAVE, United States Magistrate Judge:

Pro se Plaintiff Clarence Livingston’s complaint in this action was filed on March 4, 2020. (ECF No. 2). The complaint named as defendants a John Doe Detective, the New York County District Attorney and the Manhattan Criminal Supreme Court. (ECF No. 2 at 1, 3). On March 25, 2020, in the Order of Service, The Honorable Laura Taylor Swain in pertinent part dismissed claims against the New York County District Attorney’s Office and the Manhattan Criminal Supreme Court and ordered, pursuant to Valentin v. Dinkins, 121 F.3d 72 (2d Cir. 1997), that the New York City Law Department identify the John Doe detective. (ECF No. 7). Following several extensions of time (see ECF Nos. 13, 15, 17), the Law Department responded to the Valentin order. (ECF No. 19). On September 28, 2020, the Court directed Mr. Livingston to file an amended complaint by Friday, November 6, 2020 “naming the John Doe Defendants using the information provided [by defense counsel.]” (ECF No. 20). Mr. Livingston has not yet filed an amended complaint. Mindful of Mr. Livingston’s status as an unrepresented and incarcerated inmate, the Court EXTENDS his deadline to file the Amended Complaint naming the John Doe Defendants until Friday, November 27, 2020. The Clerk of Court is respectfully directed to mail a copy of this Order to Mr. Livingston at the address below.
