UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

HOANG TROUNG, 

Plaintiff, 

v. 

JEFF MACOMBER, 

Defendant. 

No. 2:14-cv-1590-EFB P 

ORDER 

Plaintiff is a prisoner proceeding pro se with this civil rights action under 42 U.S.C. 

§ 1983.1 His action was dismissed without prejudice on June 2, 2015, due to his failure to 

comply with the court’s April 28, 2015 order. ECF No. 8. Judgment was entered on the same 

day. ECF No. 9. Thereafter, plaintiff requested an extension of time to comply with the April 28 

order, stating that he had not received it until May 12, 2015. ECF No. 10. On June 19, 2015, 

plaintiff filed a timely motion for relief from judgment. ECF No. 12. His motion indicates that 

he did not receive the April 28 order until May 12, and that within thirty days of receiving the 

order, he moved for an extension of time. Under these circumstances, the court finds that there is 

good cause for granting relief from judgment under Rule 60(b) of the Federal Rules of Civil 

Procedure.
