PROCEEDINGS: (IN CHAMBERS)
The Court dismissed Plaintiff’s First Amended Complaint in this civil-rights
action more than a year ago, on July 23, 2018, granting Plaintiff leave to amend. She
was warned that “if she fails to timely file a sufficient” amended complaint, “the
Court may dismiss this action on the grounds set forth” in the dismissal order “or for
failure to diligently prosecute.”
Since then, Plaintiff has asked for and received numerous extensions to file her
second amended complaint, totaling just under a year. Under the terms of the most
recent extension order, the SAC was due on or before July 15. Plaintiff has neither
filed a SAC nor requested another extension of time. Back in April 2018, the Court
informed Plaintiff of the availability of help from the local pro se legal clinics.
No later than 14 days from the date of this Order, Plaintiff must file a second
amended complaint or this lawsuit will likely be dismissed for failure to prosecute
and failure to obey a Court order.
