Proceedings (IN CHAMBERS): ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE
On August 31, 2018, the Court dismissed Plaintiff’s First Amended Complaint with leave
to amend. Electronic Case Filing (“ECF No.”) 14. The Court also provided Plaintiff with a
blank Civil Rights Form and a Voluntarily Dismissal form if either was desired. Plaintiff’s
Second Amended Complaint (“SAC”) was due on before September 21, 2018. To date, Plaintiff
has failed to file a SAC within the allotted time nor has he requested an extension of time within
which to do so.
Accordingly, on or before October 25, 2018, Plaintiff is ORDERED to either (a) advise
the Court that he does not desire to pursue this action; (b) if plaintiff does desire to pursue this
action, show good cause in writing, if any exists, why plaintiff has not timely filed with the Court
his SAC, and why the Court should not recommend that this action be dismissed for failure to
prosecute and failure to comply with the Court’s prior Order; or (c) file a SAC. Plaintiff is
forewarned that, if he fails to do either of the provided options, the Court may deem such failure
a further violation of a Court order justifying dismissal, and also deem such failure as further
evidence of a lack of prosecution on Plaintiff’s part.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
