UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JACOB RAY SOLORIO, 

formerly known as Brianna Nycole 

Solorio,

Plaintiff,

v.

LISA LARRANAGA, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 1:19-cv-00716-DAD-SAB (PC)

ORDER STRIKING PLAINTIFF’S MOTION 

FOR EXTENSION OF TIME TO FILE 

SECOND AMENDED COMPLAINT AS 

UNSIGNED

(ECF No. 15)

ORDER GRANTING PLAINTIFF AN

EXTENSION OF TIME TO FILE SECOND 

AMENDED COMPLAINT

THIRTY (30) DAY DEADLINE

Plaintiff Jacob Ray Solorio is a pretrial detainee proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis

in this civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983.

On January 23, 2020, the Court issued a screening order finding that Plaintiff had failed to 

state any cognizable claim for relief in his first amended complaint, and directing Plaintiff to file 

a second amended complaint within thirty days from the date that the order was served. (ECF 

No. 8.) Therefore, Plaintiff’s second amended complaint is currently due on February 25, 2020.

Currently before the Court is Plaintiff’s motion for a 60-day extension of time to file a 

second amended complaint, filed on February 21, 2020. (ECF No. 15.) 

However, a review of Plaintiff’s motion for a 60-day extension of time to file a second 

amended complaint reveals that Plaintiff did not sign his motion. All filings submitted to the 

Case 1:19-cv-00716-DAD-SAB Document 16 Filed 02/25/20 Page 1 of 2

Court must bear the signature of the filing party. Local Rule 131; Fed. R. Civ. P. 11(a). 

Therefore, the Court must strike Plaintiff’s motion for a 60-day extension of time to file a second 

amended complaint from the record for lack of Plaintiff’s signature.

However, in light of Plaintiff’s pro se status and in order to allow time for Plaintiff to 

receive the Court order, the Court finds it appropriate to sua sponte grant Plaintiff a thirty (30) 

day extension of time to file a second amended complaint.

Accordingly, it is HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. Plaintiff’s motion for a 60-day extension of time to file a second amended 

complaint, (ECF No. 15), is STRICKEN from the record for lack of Plaintiff’s 

signature;

2. In the interest of justice, Plaintiff is granted thirty (30) days, running from the 

date of service of this order, to file a second amended complaint curing the 

deficiencies identified in the Court’s January 23, 2020 screening order; and

3. If Plaintiff fails to comply with this order, the Court will recommend to the District 

Judge that this action be dismissed for failure to state a claim, failure to prosecute, 

and failure to obey a court order.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: February 25, 2020
