________________________________/
Punaofo Tsugito Tilei (“Plaintiff”) is a state prisoner proceeding pro se in this civil rights
19
action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. This action was dismissed on July 27, 2011 for Plaintiff’s
20
failure to prosecute, based in part on Plaintiff’s failure to respond to the Court’s order of July 15,
21
2011 which required Plaintiff to show cause why this action should not be dismissed for failure
22
to prosecute. (Doc. 121.) Subsequently, on August 17, 2011, the Court issued an order granting
23
Plaintiff another opportunity to respond to the Court’s order to show cause, within thirty days.1
24
(Doc. 125.) Plaintiff failed to file a timely response to the order to show cause, and he did not
25
request an extension of time. Plaintiff’s case remains closed.

medical condition for the past eight months. (Doc. 124.) Therefore, the Court granted Plaintiff another opportunity
to oppose the dismissal of this action.
