IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

CARL FOUST,

Plaintiff,

v.

ALI, et al.,

Defendants.

No. 2:19-CV-2579-DMC-P

ORDER

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

42 U.S.C. § 1983. Pending before the court is plaintiff’s motion for clarification. See ECF No. 9. 

Plaintiff seeks guidance from the court regarding orders he has received in this case (Foust I) as 

well as what was an identical pending case – Foust v. Ali, et al., 2:20-CV-0155-CKD (Foust II). 

A review of the dockets in both cases reflects that Foust II has been dismissed and plaintiff’s 

complaint in that case has been docketed as a first amended complaint in Foust I. Foust II has 

been closed and no deadlines are pending. Plaintiff’s first amended complaint filed in Foust I will 

be addressed by separate order.
