ORDER

CAROL MIRANDO, Magistrate Judge.

Before the Court is Plaintiff's Motion for Extension of Time (Doc. 27), filed on November 13, 2015. Plaintiff, pro se, seeks a 30-60-day extension to respond to the complaint. Doc. 27 at 1. A review of the docket indicates that Defendant has not filed a complaint or counterclaim against Plaintiff to which an answer would be required. The district court, however, granted Defendants' motion to dismiss without prejudice and directed Plaintiff to file an Amended Complaint on or before November 20, 2015 (Doc. 20). To the extent Plaintiff is referring to the district court's order directing him to file an Amended Complaint, Plaintiff's request for extension is granted. Plaintiff stated that he spoke with Defendants' counsel who does not oppose an extension. Doc. 27 at 1.

As a reminder, before preparing any further pleadings, Plaintiff is encouraged to visit the "Proceeding Without a Lawyer" section of this Court's website at www.flmd.uscourts.gov. The website includes tips, frequently asked questions, sample forms, and a "Guide for Proceeding Without a Lawyer." Plaintiff is informed that if he chooses to proceed pro se, it is mandatory that he proceed in accordance with Federal and Local Rules. Loren v. Sasser, 309 F.3d 1296, 1304 (11th Cir. 2002) (noting that despite certain leniency afforded pro se parties, they must follow procedures).

ACCORDINGLY, it is hereby

ORDERED:

1. Plaintiff's Motion for Extension of Time (Doc. 12) is GRANTED.

2. Plaintiff shall have up to and including December 21, 2015 to file his Amended Complaint consistent with the district court's directives in the Order (Doc. 20) permitting Plaintiff to file an Amended Complaint.

DONE and ORDERED.
