June 12, 2015, why this case should not be dismissed pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure

17

18

On February 18, 2015, this Court granted the Motion to Dismiss by defendant California

19

Department of Corrections and dismissed that defendant from the case. Order, ECF 16. The

20

Court did not dismiss pro se plaintiff Khalid Mohammad’s case entirely, finding that Plaintiff

21

should have an opportunity to identify and serve the Doe Defendants he alleged in his complaint.

22

Id. at 2, 6. To date, Plaintiff has not identified any of the Doe Defendants, nor has he

On April 9, 2015, the Court held an Initial Case Management Conference. Plaintiff did not
appear, nor did he file a case management statement with the Court.
