UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

ERIC HOLMES,

Plaintiff,

v.

SCRIBNER, et. al.,

Defendants.

 /

CV F 05-825 AWI NEW (DLB) P 

ORDER VACATING FINDINGS AND

RECOMMENDATIONS ISSUED JANUARY

30, 2007 (Doc. 13.) 

 Eric Holmes (“Plaintiff”) is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis in

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

On October 5, 2006, the Court dismissed the Complaint with leave to amend within thirty

days of the service of the Court’s Order. However, Plaintiff did not file an Amended Complaint

or otherwise communicate with the Court. Thus, on January 30, 2007, the Court issued Findings

and Recommendations to dismiss the Complaint for Plaintiff’s failure to comply and because the

Complaint failed to state cognizable claims for relief. 

On February 28, 2007, Plaintiff filed his First Amended Complaint. Plaintiff did not

provide any explanation as to why he failed to comply nor did he object to the Findings and

Recommendations or ask for permission to amend his Complaint. Nonetheless, the Court will

VACATE the Findings and Recommendations and proceed with Plaintiff’s case. However,
