SINGLE AMENDED COMPLAINT
THIRTY-DAY DEADLINE

Plaintiff Gary Francis Fisher (“Plaintiff”) is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma

18

pauperis in this civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Plaintiff initiated this action on June

19

20, 2013, in the Northern District of California. On June 10, 2014, Plaintiff filed an amended

20

On March 4, 2015, the Court dismissed Plaintiff’s amended complaint with leave to amend.
(ECF No. 41.)
On April 8, 2015, in lieu of a comprehensive amended complaint, Plaintiff filed four separate

24

amended complaints. (ECF Nos. 77, 78, 79, 80.) On the same date, Plaintiff also filed a myriad of

25

other documents, including motions to be heard, motions for production of documents, and motions

26

for copies. (ECF Nos. 48-58, 61-67.)

The Court declines to spend its already taxed resources sorting through the morass of

2

documents filed by Plaintiff to determine which second amended complaint (or parts thereof) he

3

wishes to pursue. Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

4

1. Within thirty (30) days following service of this order, Plaintiff shall file a single amended

5

complaint that complies with the pleading requirements of Federal Rules of Civil

6

Procedure 8 and 18 and addresses the deficiencies identified in the Court’s screening order

7

issued on March 4, 2015;

8

2. Plaintiff’s amended complaint may not exceed twenty-five (25) pages; and

9

3. If Plaintiff fails to comply with this order, this action shall be dismissed for failure to obey
a court order.
