1 2 3 4 5 6 7 UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 8 FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 9 10 RONALD EUGENE JAMES, 11 12 13 14 No. 2:24-cv-0448 DJC SCR P Plaintiff, v. ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE PAMELA JEAN DOMINISSE, ET AL., Defendants. 15 16 17 Plaintiff Ronald Eugene James is proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis in this action 18 under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. This matter was referred to the undersigned in accordance with Local 19 Rule 302(c)(21) and 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1). 20 On December 4, 2024, the court screened the first amended complaint per the screening 21 process required by the IFP statute, 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2), and found the complaint legally 22 deficient but granted plaintiff leave to amend. (ECF No. 15.) The court determined plaintiff 23 could not state a § 1983 claim for damages against any of the attorney-defendants and plaintiff’s 24 request for declaratory and injunctive relief was barred by the doctrine of Younger v. Harris, 401 25 U.S. 37, 43-54 (1971). The court’s order allowed plaintiff thirty (30) days to file a second 26 amended complaint that cured the deficiencies. The order warned plaintiff that a failure to 27 respond would result in a recommendation that the action be dismissed for failure to obey a court 28 order and failure to prosecute. More than 30 days have passed, and plaintiff has not responded. 1 1 Good cause appearing, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Plaintiff shall show cause, in 2 writing, within 14 days, why the failure to file an amended complaint should not result in a 3 recommendation that this case be dismissed based on failure to obey a court order and failure to 4 prosecute. Plaintiff may respond by filing an amended complaint that complies with the court’s 5 prior order. If Plaintiff fails to respond, the court will recommend dismissal of this case. 6 7 SO ORDERED. DATED: January 27, 2025 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 2
