Richard Risher ("Plaintiff") is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis

13

with this civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. On December 30, 2016, Plaintiff

14

filed the complaint commencing this action. (ECF No. 1). On March 14, 2017, the Court

15

found cognizable claims and ordered a response from Plaintiff. (ECF No. 11) On April 5,

16

2017, the Plaintiff notified the Court that he would stand on his complaint. (ECF No. 12). On

17

April 6, 2017, the Court dismissed certain claims and forwarded service documents to Plaintiff

18

for completion and return within thirty days. (ECF No. 13). The Court also notified Plaintiff

19

that failure to complete and return the service documents within 30 days could result in

20

dismissal of this action. (ECF No. 13, p. 3).

21

The time period has expired and Plaintiff has not returned the service documents.

22

Therefore, Plaintiff will be ordered to show cause why the Court should not dismiss this case

23

for failure to comply with a Court order. The Court notes that if Plaintiff completes and returns

24

the service documents within thirty days of the date of service of this order, the Court will

25

discharge this order to show cause. If Plaintiff does not respond to this order, the Court will

26

dismiss the case for failure to prosecute and comply with a court order.

Accordingly, based on the foregoing, it is HEREBY ORDERED that, within thirty (30)

2

days from the date of service of this order, Plaintiff shall show cause why the Court should not

dismiss this case for failure to prosecute and comply with a court order.
