UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JESSE LEE SHAVERS, Jr.,

Plaintiff,

v.

R. CHANDLER, et al.,

Defendants.

No. 2:23-cv-00112-DAD-JDP (PC)

ORDER

Plaintiff, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, has filed a civil rights action pursuant to 42 

U.S.C. § 1983. On March 28, 2023, the court screened plaintiff’s amended complaint and granted 

him thirty days to either file an amended complaint or advisement that he wished to stand by his 

complaint, subject to it being dismissed. ECF No. 20. Plaintiff did not timely respond, thus, on 

June 16, 2023, the court ordered plaintiff to show cause for his failure to comply with the March 

28 order. ECF No. 21. Plaintiff has since filed a response to the order to show cause. He states

that he needs additional time to file an amended complaint because of lockdowns at his place of 

incarceration. ECF No. 23. Plaintiff notes in his response that he will be able to comply with the 

court’s March 28 order in fifteen days. Id. at 2. The court construes plaintiff’s response as a 

motion for an extension of time and grants it. Out of an abundance of caution, plaintiff is granted 

thirty days to file an amended complaint.
