UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

Plaintiff Eugene A. Harris, Jr. is appearing pro se and in forma pauperis in this civil rights 

action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(c), Plaintiff consented to the 

jurisdiction of the United States Magistrate Judge on April 20, 2016. Local Rule 302.

On June 3, 2016, the Court dismissed Plaintiff’s complaint for failure to state a claim under 

section 1983 and ordered Plaintiff to file an amended complaint within thirty days. 28 U.S.C. § 

1915A; 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e). (ECF No. 15.) Plaintiff failed to file an amended complaint; therefore, 

on July 15, 2016, Plaintiff was ordered to show cause why the action should not be dismissed for 

failure to comply with a court order and for failure to state a cognizable claim for relief. (ECF No. 

16.) 

More than thirty days have since passed, and Plaintiff has not complied with or otherwise 

responded to the Court’s July 15, 2016, order. As a result, there is no pleading on file which sets forth 

EUGENE A. HARRIS, JR.,

 Plaintiff,
