Plaintiff,
vs.

ORDER

14

SACRAMENTO COUNTY MAIN JAIL,

15

Defendant.

16
17

/
Plaintiff, a prisoner proceeding pro se, brings this civil rights action pursuant to 42

18

U.S.C. § 1983. Plaintiff has consented to Magistrate Judge jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §

19

636(c) and no other party has been served or appeared in the action.

20

The court issued an order to show cause on June 24, 2015, requiring plaintiff to

21

show cause why this action should not be dismissed for failure to identify the appropriate

22

defendant to this action in, file an amended complaint, and serve the complaint on the identified

23

defendant. Plaintiff was warned that failure to identify the appropriate defendant in order for this

24

case to proceed may result in dismissal of this action for lack of prosecution and failure to

25

comply with court rules and orders. See Local Rule 110. To date, plaintiff has not filed a

26

response to the order to show cause.
1

1

The undersigned therefore finds it appropriate to dismiss this action for plaintiff’s

2

failure to comply to court orders, and to timely identify an appropriate defendant to proceed with

3

this action.

4

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

5

1.

This action is dismissed; and

6

2.

The Clerk of the Court is directed to close this case.
