Plaintiff,

ORDER

v.
2 LA CO. SUPERVISORS,
Defendant.

/

On March 16, 2012, the Court issued an Order granting Plaintiff’s Application to Proceed In

17

Forma Pauperis and dismissing Plaintiff’s complaint pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B). The

18

Court gave Plaintiff leave to amend, and required that any amended complaint be filed no later than

19

March 30, 2012. Plaintiff did not file an amended complaint by March 30, 2012, and only contacted

20

the Court by letter dated April 8, 2012 to explain why she had not done so. In part, Plaintiff stated

21

that she only received the Court’s Order on April 4, 2012 because she cannot regularly make the trip

22

to her mailing address to retrieve her mail. It is unclear from Plaintiff’s April 8, 2012 letter whether

23

she would still like to amend her complaint.

24

Accordingly, because Plaintiff is pro se, the Court will give her one more chance to file an

25

amended complaint in accordance with the Court’s March 16, 2012 Order. Any amended complaint

26

shall be filed no later than May 18, 2012. If an amended complaint is not filed by that date, the

27

Court will dismiss Plaintiff’s case with prejudice. The Court cautions Plaintiff that if she is going to

28

continue to prosecute her case in this Court, and to receive correspondence from the Court, she must
regularly check her mail or obtain a closer mail delivery address.
