PAPERLESS ORDER granting in part and denying in part #9 Motion for Extension of Time to Amend. Movant's amended complaint was due on or before July 15, 2019. On July 12, 2019, she mailed the Court the instant motion for extension of time. To the extent that Movant requests the appointment of counsel in this proceeding, such a request is DENIED. Movant has not demonstrated circumstances warranting the appointment of counsel. The appointment of counsel is necessary only when due process or the interests of justice require it. Hooks v. Wainwright, 775 F.2d 1433, 1438 (11th Cir. 1985)(citing 18 U.S.C. 3006A(a)(2)(B)); see also Rules Governing Section 2255 Proceedings 8(c) (requiring that counsel be appointed upon determination that an evidentiary hearing is required); id. at Rule 6(a) (court must assign counsel to financially eligible defendants [i]f necessary for effective discovery). None of those are implicated here. As such, movant's request for counsel is DENIED. To the extent that Movant requests an extension of time, her request is GRANTED. She shall file her amended complaint in compliance with the requirements set forth in ECF 8 on or before August 2, 2019. If she chooses not to file an amended complaint, the Court will proceed with reviewing her initial complaint as discussed in ECF 8. No piecemeal litigation is permitted and no further extensions of time will be permitted absent extraordinary circumstances. Signed by Magistrate Judge Lisette M. Reid on 7/18/2019. (rm01)

Filing 7
PAPERLESS ORDER denying as moot #4 Motion for New Trial. In movant's motion, she alleges that the Court has not opened a civil case regarding her pending section 2255 motion. However, since the filing of her "motion for new trial," the Court has opened the instant case pertaining to movant's section 2255 motion. Accordingly, movant's motion for new trial is denied as moot. To the extent that movant seeks to add new claims to her initial section 2255 motion, she will be given the opportunity to do so in a forthcoming order to amend. Signed by Magistrate Judge Lisette M. Reid on 6/10/2019. (rm01)

PAPERLESS ORDER denying as moot #3 Motion for Processing of Motion to Vacate. In her motion, Movant asserts that she previously filed her Section 2255 motion and requests that the Court open a "civil action" number to process the case. The Court has already received the motion and has opened a Section 2255 action under a new civil case number. Accordingly, Movant's motion is denied as moot. Signed by Magistrate Judge Lisette M. Reid on 6/6/2019. (rm01)
