UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

THOMAS L. GOFF,

Plaintiff,

v.

S. WALTERS, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 1:18-cv-00904-DAD-JDP

ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE WHY THIS CASE 

SHOULD NOT BE DISMISSED FOR FAILURE 

TO PROSECUTE AND FAILURE TO COMPLY 

WITH A COURT ORDER 

THIRTY-DAY DEADLINE

Plaintiff Thomas L. Goff is a current or former state prisoner proceeding without counsel 

and in forma pauperis in this civil rights action brought under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Plaintiff has 

filed several miscellaneous submissions in close succession, see ECF Nos. 23 and 24, but has not 

yet filed a response to the court’s screening order, ECF No. 15. On January 7, 2020, the court 

gave plaintiff an extension until February 23, 2020, to file such a response. ECF No. 22. No 

such response has been filed. Therefore, within thirty days of this order, plaintiff is ordered to 

show cause why this action should not be dismissed for failure to prosecute and failure to comply 

with a court order.
