_____________________________/

Plaintiff Clarence Leon Dews (“Plaintiff”), a state prisoner proceeding pro se, filed
19
this civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 on February 21, 2012.
20
On July 16, 2012, the Court filed an order dismissing Plaintiff’s Complaint with leave
21
to amend. (ECF No. 13.) Plaintiff’s amended complaint was due on August 20, 2012. (Id.)
22
After this deadline passed without Plaintiff complying with or responding to the Court’s
23
order, the Court on September 13, 2012, ordered Plaintiff to show cause by October 1,
24
2012 why the action should not be dismissed. (ECF No. 15.) Plaintiff filed his First
25
Amended Complaint on October 12, 2012. (ECF No. 18.) Although Plaintiff’s response
26
was untimely, the Court considered its merits and, based on Plaintiff’s representations
27
therein, will discharge the order to show cause.

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