UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

JEFFREY ELIAS KANE, Case No.: 3:16-cv-00l0-BEN-JLB 

Plaintiff, ORDER DISMISSING ACTION 

v. [Doc. No.9] 

RJ. DONOVAN STATE PRISON; R. 

GOMEZ; RAMSEY; BAROY A; 

PERFORMING STAFF, 

Defendants. 

Jeffrey Elias Kane ("Plaintiff'), currently incarcerated at California Correctional 

Institution located in Tehachapi, California, is proceeding pro se in this civil rights action, 

which he initiated pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. At the time he filed his Complaint, 

Plaintiff did not prepay the $400 filing fee mandated by 28 U.S.C. § 1914(a); instead, he 

filed a Motion to proceed in forma pauperis ("IFP") pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a) 

(Doc. No.2). 

On February 23, 2016, the Court granted Plaintiff leave to proceed IFP, but 

dismissed his Complaint for failing to state a claim pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2) 

and § 1915A(b). (Doc. No.3). The Court further granted Plaintiff 45 days in which to 

file an Amended Complaint that addressed the deficiencies of pleading iden+tified by the

was made, unless it determines that the pleading could not possibly be cured.”) (citations

On April 1, 2016, Plaintifffiled his First Amended Complaint which the Court also

dismissed for failing to state a claim pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2) and § 1915A(b).

(Doc. Nos. 4, 5). Plaintiffwas again given 45 days to file an amended pleading. On June

24, 2016, however, Plaintifffiled a Motion for Extension ofTime in which to amend

(Doc. No. 7). The Court granted Plaintiff an extension oftime to file his Second

Amended Complaint and cautioned him that ifhe failed to file his Amended Complaint

on or before September 12,2016, the Court would enter a final Order of dismissal ofthis

civil action without prejudice for failure to state a claim pursuant to 28

U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B) and § 1915A(b), and for failure to prosecute in compliance with a

Court Order requiring amendment. (Doc. No. 8.)

That time has since passed and Plaintiffhas failed to comply with the Court’s

Orders. Thus, the Court DISMISSES the entire action for failing to comply with a Court

Order and for all the reasons set forth in the Court’s May 11, 2016 Order.

The Clerk ofCourt shall enterjudgment for the Defendants and close the file.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
