UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

Plaintiff Gary Francis Fisher (“Plaintiff”) is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma 

pauperis in this civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Plaintiff initiated this action on June 

20, 2013, in the Northern District of California. On June 2, 2014, the Court reopened the action and 

directed Plaintiff to file a complaint. (ECF No. 16.) Plaintiff filed an amended complaint on June 10, 

2014. (ECF No. 18.) On the same date, the matter was transferred to this Court. (ECF No. 19.)

On July 18, 2014, Plaintiff filed a document entitled “Motion to Reopen Case due to Lateness 

of mail; and judgment as a matter of law.” (ECF No. 26.) Plaintiff’s moving papers are rambling, 

disjointed and difficult to comprehend. To the best of the Court’s determination, it appears that 

Plaintiff is requesting amendment of his complaint and the reopening of this case. 

However, this matter was reopened on June 2, 2014, and Plaintiff’s amended complaint was 

filed with the Court on June 20, 2014. Accordingly, Plaintiff’s motion, filed on July 18, 2014, is 

GARY FRANCIS FISHER,

 Plaintiff,

v.

DIRECTOR OF OPS OF CDCR,

Defendant.
