v.
No. 2:17-cv-01231 KJM AC (PS)
ORDER
KERN COUNTY TAX ASSESSOR,
15
Defendant.
16
Plaintiff is proceeding in this action pro se. The action was accordingly referred to the
17
18
undersigned for pretrial matters by E.D. Cal. R. (“Local Rule”) 302(c)(21). On June 16, 2017, the
19
court dismissed the complaint, and granted plaintiff 30 days to file an amended complaint within
20
30 days. ECF No. 3. Plaintiff was cautioned that failure to do so could lead to a recommendation
21
that the action be dismissed. On July 14, 2017, plaintiff filed a document indicating that it was
22
intended as an “Amendment,” which was docketed as a “Request for the case to be heard.” ECF
23
No. 4. Plaintiff’s submission fails to comply with Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 8, and fails to
24
comply with the instructions given for filing an amended complaint contained in this courts
25
previous order at ECF No. 3. The Request does not clearly allege legal causes of action against
26
specific individuals or entities and is insufficient to give defendant proper notice of the legal
27
claims alleged against it. ECF No. 4.
