Plaintiff,
vs.

ORDER

14

DEAN GROWDEN, et al.,

15

Defendants.

16
17

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

18

42 U.S.C. § 1983. On February 25, 2016, the court directed plaintiff to file an amended

19

complaint within 30 days. Plaintiff was warned that failure to file an amended complaint may

20

result in dismissal of this action for lack of prosecution and failure to comply with court rules

21

and orders. See Local Rule 110. As of May 13, 2016, plaintiff had not filed an amended

22

complaint and the court directed plaintiff to show cause why this action should not be dismissed.

23

In response, plaintiff states that he was unable to file an amended complaint within the time

24

provided by the court’s February 25, 2016, order due to deaths in his family. Given this

25

circumstance, the court will discharge the May 13, 2016, order to show cause and construe

26

plaintiff’s response as a request for an extension of time to comply with the court’s February 25,
1

1

2016, order.

2

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

3

1.

The order to show cause issued on May 13, 2016, is discharged;

4

2.

Plaintiff’s response to the court’s order to show cause is construed as a

5

request for an extension of time to comply with the court’s February 25, 2016, order and, so

6

construed, the request is granted;

7

3.

Plaintiff shall file an amended complaint within 30 days of the date of this

4.

The Clerk of the Court is directed to serve a copy of the court’s February

8
9
10

order; and

25, 2016, order on plaintiff along with this order.
