Defendants.
On January 6, 2016, the court issued an order to show cause which required Plaintiff

11
United States District Court
Northern District of California

10

Kenneth B. Quansah (“Plaintiff”), by January 15, 2016, to file an amended complaint or otherwise

12

demonstrate good cause in writing why this case should not be dismissed after Plaintiff failed to

13

file an amended complaint by the deadline originally imposed. See Docket Item No. 54. The

14

court advised Plaintiff that this action would be dismissed pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil

15

Procedure 41(b) if he did not timely comply as directed.

16

On January 15, 2016, Plaintiff filed a document entitled “Plaintiff’s Motion in Opposition

17

to U.S. Postal Service Motion to Dismiss Complaint.” See Docket Item No. 55. The court has

18

liberally construed that document, but does not find it in accord with the instructions provided by

19

the court. Accordingly, as of the date and time this order was filed, Plaintiff has not complied

20
21
22

with the January 6th order and this case remains without a complaint.
Accordingly, this case is DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE for lack of prosecution
pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(b). The Clerk shall close this file.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
