KARELAS, Defendant. / Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis with a civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. By scheduling order filed September 21, 2009, plaintiff was advised of the requirement that he file and serve a pretrial statement, as well as of the matters that must be addressed therein. When the deadline for the filing of plaintiff's pretrial statement passed without the required filing, on July 19, 2010, the court issued an order to show cause. On July 28, 2010, plaintiff responded by explaining that his failure to file a pretrial statement stemmed from his recent transfer with an assurance that his pretrial statement was forthcoming. Accordingly, on July 29, 2010 the court discharged the order to show cause and granted plaintiff an additional thirty days to file his pretrial statement. On August 26, 2010, in response to further requests filed by plaintiff the court ordered plaintiff to file and serve a proper pretrial statement in this action 1
