Plaintiff filed this pro se prisoner’s civil rights action under 42 U.S.C. § 1983, complaining

17

about conditions at the Santa Clara County Jail. Upon initial review pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915A,

18

the Court determined that Plaintiff's complaint failed to state a claim upon which relief may be

19

granted and gave Plaintiff leave to file an amended complaint no later than March 29, 2013. The

20

Court cautioned Plaintiff that failure to file an amended complaint by the deadline would result in

21

the dismissal of this action. See Docket # 6, pp. 5-6. At Plaintiff’s request, the Court granted a

22

limited extension of the deadline to file an amended complaint, and extended the deadline to

23

April 26, 2013, in an order that again cautioned that failure to file the amended complaint by the

complaint, and the deadline by which to do so has long passed. Accordingly, this action is

3

dismissed for failure to state a claim upon which relief may be granted. The Clerk will close the file.
