ORDER DISCHARGING ORDER TO SHOW
CAUSE AND EXTENDING TIME FOR
PLAINTIFF TO RESPOND TO FIRST
SCREENING ORDER
(Docs. 9-13)
21-DAY DEADLINE

On April 2, 2019, the Court issued a screening order in which it granted Plaintiff leave to
20
file a first amended complaint. (Doc. 9.) At Plaintiff’s request, the Court granted an extension of
21
time to respond to the screening order. (Doc. 10, 11.) Plaintiff failed to file an amended complaint
22
or otherwise respond to the Court’s order by the extended deadline. Thus, the Court issued an
23
order to show cause why this action should not be dismissed for failure to comply with the
24
Court’s order and prosecute this action. (Doc. 12.)

Plaintiff filed a response to the OSC indicating that he believed an administrative appeal
would be granted and that, when the administrative appeal was ultimately denied, he sought legal
1
advice on how to proceed.1 (Doc. 13.) He states that he did not have sufficient time between the
2
administrative-appeal denial and the screening-order deadline to receive the solicited advice.
Good cause appearing, the Court ORDERS:
3
1. The order to show cause that issued on August 21, 2019, (Doc. 12) is
4
DISCHARGED;
5
2. Within 21 days from the date of service of this order, Plaintiff shall file a first
6
amended complaint curing the deficiencies identified by the Court in the April 2, 2019
7
screening order or, in the alternative, file a notice of voluntary dismissal.
8
The Court notes that multiple months have passed since the issuance of its screening
9

12
order. If Plaintiff fails to comply with the present order, the Court will dismiss this action
for failure to obey a court order and for failure to state a cognizable claim.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
