No. 2:14-cv-0949 AC P
Plaintiff,
v.
ORDER
TIMOTHY VIRGA, et al.,
Defendants.
16
17
On April 22, 2015, this court dismissed plaintiff’s First Amended Complaint with leave to
18
file a Second Amended Complaint within thirty days. See ECF No. 16. Thereafter, plaintiff filed
19
two matters which the court construes as a request for extension of time within which to file a
20
Second Amended Complaint. See ECF Nos. 17, 18. The request will be granted.
21
In addition to granting plaintiff extended time, the court has reviewed plaintiff’s concerns
22
in light of his several recent transfers among prisons, and finds it appropriate to request that the
23
Office of the California Attorney General inquire as the current location of all plaintiff’s personal
24
property. Plaintiff’s various exhibits indicate that, since 2012, he has been incarcerated at
25
California State Prison-Sacramento (CSP-SAC), Kern Valley State Prison, the California Medical
26
Facility, and then again at CSP-SAC; and that plaintiff’s property has routinely lagged behind.
27
See e.g., ECF No. 18 at 3; see generally the filings in this case; see also Dahl v. Virga et al., Case
28
No. 2:13-cv-02313-CMK, ECF Nos. 15-6. The Office of the Attorney General is requested to
1
1
contact appropriate officials at the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation
2
(CDCR) and/or the appropriate prisons, and inquire as to: (1) the current location of all plaintiff’s
3
personal property, inventoried if possible; (2) whether plaintiff currently has possession of all his
4
property; and (3) if not, why and, if applicable, when plaintiff will achieve such possession.
5
Because no defendants have been served process in this case, this order will be directed to a
6
Supervising Deputy Attorney General.
7
Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:
8
1. The Office of the California Attorney General is directed to contact CDCR authorities
9
and/or prison authorities at plaintiff’s recent places of incarceration, to investigate the matters set
10
forth above, for the period January 1, 2012, through the date of inquiry. The Supervising Deputy
11
Attorney General or her designee is requested to file a status report with the court, and serve a
12
copy of the report on plaintiff, within fourteen (14) days after the filing date of this order.
13
2. Plaintiff may file his proposed Second Amended Complaint on or before June 26,
14
2015; failure to timely file a proposed Second Amended Complaint will result in the dismissal of
15
this action without prejudice.
16
2. The Clerk of Court is directed to:
17
a. Redesignate on the docket, at ECF No. 17, that the matter filed is a “Notice” (not
18
Notice of Voluntary Dismissal).
19
20
b. Redesignate on the docket, at ECF No. 18, that the matter filed is construed as a
“Request for Extension of Time.”
21
c. Send plaintiff, together with a copy of this order, the following:
22
1. A copy of the court’s order filed April 22, 2015 (ECF No. 16);
23
2. A copy of plaintiff’s First Amended Complaint (ECF No. 15);
24
3. A copy of plaintiff’s original complaint (ECF No. 1); and
25
4. A blank copy of the form used by prisoners in this district to commence a civil
26
rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983.
