No. CV 12-2023-PHX-RCB (SPL)

 O R D E R

Plaintiff Jose Carrera-Beltran, who is confined in the U.S. Penitentiary in Lompoc,

California, filed a pro se civil rights Complaint pursuant to Bivens v. Six Unknown Named

Agents of Federal Bureau of Narcotics, 403 U.S. 388 (1971), which the Court dismissed for

failure to state a claim with leave to amend. (Doc. 1, 5.) Plaintiff filed a First Amended

Complaint, which the Court also dismissed for failure to state a claim with leave to amend.

(Doc. 7, 8.) Plaintiff has filed a motion for extension of time to file a second amended

complaint. That motion will be granted to the extent set forth below. 

Warnings

A. Release

Plaintiff must pay the unpaid balance of the filing fee within 120 days of his release.

Also, within 30 days of his release, he must either (1) notify the Court that he intends to pay

the balance or (2) show good cause, in writing, why he cannot. Failure to comply may result

in dismissal of this action.

B. Address Changes

Plaintiff must file and serve a notice of a change of address in accordance with Rule

83.3(d) of the Local Rules of Civil Procedure. Plaintiff must not include a motion for other

relief with a notice of change of address. Failure to comply may result in dismissal of this

action.

C. Copies

Plaintiff must submit an additional copy of every filing for use by the Court. See

LRCiv 5.4. Failure to comply may result in the filing being stricken without further notice

to Plaintiff.

D. Possible “Strike”

Because the First Amended Complaint has been dismissed for failure to state a claim,

if Plaintiff fails to file a second amended complaint correcting the deficiencies identified in

the February 11, 2013 Order, the dismissal may count as a “strike” under the “3-strikes”

provision of 28 U.S.C. § 1915(g). Under the 3-strikes provision, a prisoner may not bring

a civil action or appeal a civil judgment in forma pauperis under 28 U.S.C. § 1915 “if the

prisoner has, on 3 or more prior occasions, while incarcerated or detained in any facility,

brought an action or appeal in a court of the United States that was dismissed on the grounds

that it is frivolous, malicious, or fails to state a claim upon which relief may be granted,

unless the prisoner is under imminent danger of serious physical injury.” 28 U.S.C.

§ 1915(g). 

E. Possible Dismissal

If Plaintiff fails to timely comply with every provision of the February 11, 2013 Order

and this Order, including these warnings, the Court may dismiss this action without further

notice. See Ferdik, 963 F.2d at 1260-61 (a district court may dismiss an action for failure to

comply with any order of the Court).

IT IS ORDERED: 

(1) Plaintiff’s motion for extension of time is granted to the extent set forth below.

(Doc. 9.)

(2) Plaintiff has 30 days from the filing date of this Order to file a second amended

complaint in compliance with the February 11, 2013 Order, doc. 8.

(3) If Plaintiff fails to file a second amended complaint within 30 days, the Clerk

of Court must, without further notice, enter a judgment of dismissal of this action with

prejudice that states that the dismissal may count as a “strike” under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(g).

DATED this 14th day of March, 2013.
