UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

Plaintiff Elvis Venable is appearing pro se in this civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 

1983. 

On March 30, 2016, the Court screened and dismissed Plaintiff’s complaint, with leave to 

amend, for failure to state a cognizable claim for relief. (ECF No. 6.) On April 27, 2016, Plaintiff 

received a thirty day extension of time to submit an amended complaint. (ECF No. 10.) After 

Plaintiff failed to submit an amended complaint within the thirty day time frame, the Court issued 

Findings and Recommendations to dismiss the action for failure to comply with a court order and 

failure to state a cognizable claim for relief. (ECF No. 11.) Two days after the Findings and 

Recommendations was issued, Plaintiff filed a motion for an extension of time to file an amended 

complaint. (ECF No. 12.) On June 13, 2016, the Court granted Plaintiff thirty days to file an amended 

complaint, but warned Plaintiff the Findings and Recommendations remained pending unless and until 

Plaintiff filed an amended complaint. (ECF No. 13.)

On July 18, 2016, Plaintiff filed a first amended complaint. (ECF No. 14.) Accordingly, in 

light of the fact that Plaintiff has now filed a first amended complaint, the Court will vacate the 

Findings and Recommendations recommending dismissal of the action. Plaintiff is advised that the 

Court will screen his amended complaint in due course, as the Court has a large number of cases 

awaiting preliminary screening. 

Based on the foregoing, it is HEREBY ORDERED that the Findings and Recommendations 

issued June 7, 2016, are VACATED. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: July 19, 2016
