Plaintiff Richard Alan Lawson (“Plaintiff”), a state prisoner proceeding pro se, filed
17
this civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 on June 8, 2009. Plaintiff has
18
consented to the Magistrate Judge handling all matters in this action. (ECF No. 5.)
19
On June 14, 2011, the Court filed an order, granting Plaintiff’s motion for an
20
extension of time to file a second amended complaint. (ECF No. 17.) Plaintiff’s second
21
complaint was due on July 5, 2011. (Id.) After this deadline passed without Plaintiff
22
complying with or even responding to the Court’s order, the Court on July 27, 2011
23
ordered Plaintiff to show cause within thirty days why this action should not be dismissed.
24
(ECF No. 18.) Plaintiff filed a response on September 6, 2009. (ECF No. 19.) Although
25
untimely, the Court has considered the merits of Plaintiff’s response and, based on
26
Plaintiff’s representations therein, will exercise leniency and discharge the order to show
27
cause.

Accordingly, it is hereby ORDERED that the order to show cause, filed July 27,
