Plaintiff,

STATE OF CALIFORNIA, et al.,
Defendants.

Plaintiff is a state prisoner, proceeding without counsel, with a civil rights action pursuant
18
to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. On February 27, 2017, the undersigned granted plaintiff a forty-five days
19
extension of time to file an amended complaint. (ECF No. 31.)
20
On April 10, 2017, plaintiff filed a document titled “Petition/Second Amended Petition.”
21
(ECF No. 38.) This document contains one page of legal briefing. As an exhibit, plaintiff
22
includes briefing, filed most likely in state court, arguing that he is entitled to re-sentencing under
23
California Proposition 36.
24
Plaintiff’s April 10, 2017 pleading is not an amended complaint. Plaintiff is granted one
25
final opportunity to file an amended complaint on the form provided by the court. Plaintiff is also
26
informed that in a civil rights action, the court is not authorized to order re-resentencing as a
27
remedy. Challenges to the validity of convictions or sentences should be raised in petitions for
28
writs of habeas corpus brought pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254.

on the form provided by the court; failure to file an amended complaint will result in dismissal of
4
this action;

pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983.
