IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

DESHONE LEE SMITH, 

Plaintiff, No. CIV S-07-1330 LKK CMK P

vs.

OFFICER S. CSER,

Defendant. ORDER

 /

Plaintiff, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, brings this civil rights action pursuant

to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Pending before the court is plaintiff’s second motion for an extension of

time (Doc. 29), filed on December 20, 2007. 

On November 19, 2007, the court issued findings and recommendations (Doc. 22)

recommending that plaintiff’s request for injunctive relief be denied, the complaint be dismissed

for failure to state a claim and the case be closed. Objections were to be filed within 20 days of

the date of service of the findings and recommendations. Plaintiff’s previous request for

additional time was granted, giving plaintiff an additional 30 days to file objections. Plaintiff

now seeks another extension of that deadline. Good cause appearing therefor, the request will be

granted. Objections to the findings and recommendations that plaintiff’s complaint be dismissed

for failure to state a claim shall be filed within 30 days. Plaintiff is reminded that failure to file

objections within the specified time may waive the right to appeal any order adopting the

Case 2:07-cv-01330-LKK -CMK Document 30 Filed 01/04/08 Page 1 of 2

findings and recommendations. Martinez v. Ylst, 951 F.2d 1153 (9th Cir. 1991).

In addition, the court issued an order (Doc. 26) requesting plaintiff notify the court

if the complaint filed in this case as an amended complaint (Doc. 23) was intended to be a filed

as a new case. Plaintiff has not done so. Therefore, the previous order striking the amended

complaint stands. If plaintiff intends to file a complaint against any other defendant, he must do

so in a separate filing as a new case. 

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. Plaintiff’s motion for an extension of time is granted; and

2. Within 30 days after being served with this order, any party may file

written objections to the findings and recommendations (Doc. 22) with the court, such document

to be captioned “Objections to Magistrate Judge's Findings and Recommendations.” 

DATED: January 3, 2008
