THIRTY DAY DEADLINE

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). The Court screened Plaintiff’s

15

complaint pursuant to 28 U.S.C. ' 1915A, found that it states cognizable claims, and directed

16

Plaintiff to complete and return certain service documents. (ECF Nos. 11 & 13). The Court

17

also notified Plaintiff that failure to complete and return the service documents within 30 days

18

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

19

The time period expired and Plaintiff did not return the service documents.

20

Accordingly, the Court ordered Plaintiff to show cause why the Court should not dismiss this

21

case for failure to comply with a Court order. (ECF No. 14). The Court noted that if Plaintiff

22

completed and returned the service documents within thirty days the Court would discharge the

23

order to show cause. (Id.).

25

On July 5, 2017, Plaintiff submitted service documents. (ECF No. 17). Therefore, the
Court will discharge the order to show cause.1

Based on a letter Plaintiff sent to the Court (ECF No. 16), it appears that Plaintiff attempted to
send at least some of the service documents to the United States Marshals Service directly. Plaintiff was ordered
to send the completed service documents to the Court, not to the United States Marshals Service. (ECF No. 13, p.
3).
