v.

METTS, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 1:15-cv-00914 DLB PC

ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE WHY ACTION 

SHOULD NOT BE DISMISSED

FOURTEEN-DAY DEADLINE

Plaintiff Fernando R. Diaz (“Plaintiff”), a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma 

pauperis, filed this civil rights action on September 9, 2010. He consented to the jurisdiction of the 

magistrate judge on July 10, 2015. 

On May 18, 2016, the Court screened the complaint and dismissed it for failure to state a 

claim. Plaintiff was directed to file a first amended complaint within thirty (30) days. On June 6, 

2016, Plaintiff filed a motion for extension of time. The motion was granted on June 10, 2016, 

giving Plaintiff an additional thirty days. On July 11, 2016, Plaintiff filed a second motion for 

extension of time. On July 22, 2016, the motion was granted and Plaintiff was given an additional 

thirty days to file a first amended complaint. Over thirty days have passed and Plaintiff has failed to 

comply or otherwise respond to the court order.
