UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

DANIEL STEVE DIXON,

Plaintiff,

v.

J. LEWIS, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 1:16-cv-00989 DAD-BAM-PC

ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE WHY THIS 

ACTION SHOULD NOT BE DISMISSED 

FOR FAILURE TO STATE A CLAIM, 

FAILURE TO OBEY A COURT ORDER, 

AND FAILURE TO PROSECUTE

(ECF No. 12)

TWENTY (20) DAY DEADLINE 

Plaintiff Daniel Steve Dixon (“Plaintiff”) is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in 

forma pauperis in this civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. This matter was referred 

to a United States Magistrate Judge pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B) and Local Rule 302. 

On September 21, 2016, the Court dismissed Plaintiff’s complaint with leave to amend 

within thirty (30) days. (ECF No. 12.) Plaintiff was expressly warned that the failure to file an 

amended complaint in compliance with the Court’s order would result in this action being 

dismissed, with prejudice, for failure to obey a court order and failure to state a claim. (Id. at p. 

8.) The deadline for Plaintiff to file an amended complaint or a notice of voluntary dismissal has 

passed, and he has not complied with or otherwise responded to the Court’s order.

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Plaintiff shall show cause, within twenty 

(20) days of service of this order, why this action should not be dismissed based on Plaintiff’s 

failure to comply with the Court’s September 21, 2016 order, and for his failure to state a claim 

and failure to prosecute.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
