Defendants.

17

Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis with a civil rights action

18

pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. On July 22, 2011, the Court instructed Plaintiff to complete and return

19

within thirty days the form regarding consent to U.S. Magistrate Judge jurisdiction. (Doc. 3-1.) The

20

thirty-day period has now expired, and Plaintiff has not filed the consent form or otherwise responded

21

to the Court’s order.

22

Accordingly, it is HEREBY ORDERED that within fourteen days from the date of service of

23

this order, Plaintiff shall show cause in writing why this action should not be dismissed based upon his

24

failure to comply with a Court order. In addition, if Plaintiff wishes to continue pursuing his claims in

25

this case, he must complete and return the form regarding consent to U.S. Magistrate Judge jurisdiction.

26

Otherwise, Plaintiff is advised that this action will be dismissed without prejudice.

27

IT IS SO ORDERED.
