FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

STEPHEN GARCIA, 

Plaintiff, 

v. 

GEORGE ROBINSON, et al., 

Defendants. 

No. 2:24-cv-2532-TLN-SCR 

ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE 

 

Plaintiff Stephen Garcia is proceeding pro se in this action, which was referred to the 

undersigned in accordance with Local Rule 302(c)(21) and 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1). On September 

18, 2024, Plaintiff filed a complaint and a motion to proceed in forma pauperis (“IFP”). ECF 

Nos. 1 and 2. On December 3, 2024, this Court screened the complaint per the screening process 

required by 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2) and found the complaint was deficient in that it did not 

comply with Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 8. ECF No. 3. The complaint did not contain a 

short and plain statement setting forth the basis for federal jurisdiction or showing Plaintiff’s 

entitlement to relief. ECF No. 3 at 3-4. The Court’s order provided in relevant part that Plaintiff 

shall have 30 days to file an amended complaint, and such amended complaint “must include a 

sufficient jurisdictional statement and comply with Rule 8.” Id. at 5. The Order warned that

failure to comply may result in a recommendation that the action be dismissed. Id. More than 30 

days have passed, and Plaintiff has not filed an amended complaint. 

Good cause appearing, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Plaintiff shall show cause, in 

writing, within 14 days, why the failure to file an amended complaint should not result in a 

recommendation that this case be dismissed based on lack of jurisdiction and/or for failure to state 

a claim. Plaintiff may respond by filing an amended complaint that complies with the Court’s 

prior order. If Plaintiff fails to respond, the court will recommend dismissal of this case. 

SO ORDERED.
