Civil Case No. C16-1821RSL

SECOND ORDER OF DISMISSAL

13
14

On June 30, 2017, the Court dismissed the claims against the King County defendants and

15

granted plaintiff leave to amend the complaint. Dkt. # 21. At plaintiff’s request, he was granted

16

an extension of time in which to allege facts giving rise to a plausible inference that King

17

County could be liable as his employer under state or federal law. Dkt. # 25. Plaintiff did not

18

amend his complaint within the time allowed. An order of dismissal was entered 1.5 hours

19

before the Clerk docketed plaintiff’s second letter requesting an extension of time in which to

20

amend his complaint. In the interests of justice, the order of dismissal was vacated, and the

21

deadline was extended until September 8, 2017.

22

Plaintiff has again failed to file an amended complaint by the deadline established by the

23

Court, and the Court has waited an additional week to give plaintiff every opportunity to

24

prosecute this litigation. The Clerk of Court is again directed to enter judgment in this matter in

25

favor of defendants and against plaintiff. No further extensions of time will be granted.
