Daphnye S. Luster (“Plaintiff”) is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma
pauperis with this civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983.

23

On February 27, 2017, the court issued a screening order dismissing the complaint for

24

failure to state a claim, with leave to amend within thirty days. (ECF No. 14.) The thirty-day

25

time period passed, and Plaintiff did not file an amended complaint.

26

On April 17, 2017, the court entered findings and recommendations, recommending that

27

this case be dismissed for failure to state a claim. (ECF No. 15.) On May 3, 2017, Plaintiff

28

filed objections to the findings and recommendations. (ECF No. 17.) The objections are not
1

1

signed by Plaintiff. All filings submitted to the court must bear the signature of the filing party.

2

Local Rule 131; Fed. R. Civ. P. 11(a). Accordingly, the objections shall be stricken.

3

Plaintiff has now indicated interest in litigating this case. Therefore, the court shall

4

vacate the findings and recommendations and allow Plaintiff another opportunity to file the

5

amended complaint, within twenty (20) days.

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:
1.

8

Plaintiff's objections, filed on May 3, 2017, are STRICKEN from the record for
lack of signature;

9

2.

The Clerk’s Office shall send Plaintiff a form § 1983 complaint;

10

3.

Within twenty (20) days from the date of service of this order, Plaintiff is

11

required to file an amended complaint on the court’s form, pursuant to the order

12

issued on February 27, 2017; and

13

4.

14

Plaintiff’s failure to comply with this order shall result in a recommendation that
this case be dismissed.
