IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

DUSTIN FREITAS, No. CIV S-09-3328-CMK-P

Plaintiff, 

vs. ORDER

JAMES WALKER, et. al. 

Defendants.

 /

Plaintiff, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, brings this civil rights action pursuant

to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Plaintiff has consented to Magistrate Judge jurisdiction pursuant to 28

U.S.C. § 636(c) and no other party has been served or appeared in the action. 

On June 2, 2010, the court issued an order providing Plaintiff an opportunity to

show cause why defendant Walker should not be dismissed from this action for failure to state a

claim. Plaintiff was warned that failure to respond to this order may result in dismissal of the

action for the reasons outlined above, as well as for failure to prosecute and comply with court

rules and orders. See Local Rule 110. To date, Plaintiff has not complied. The court will

therefore construe Plaintiff’s lack of response as having no objection to the dismissal of

defendant Walker from this action.

In addition, on June 2, 2010, the court found service appropriate for defendant

DeLeon. Plaintiff was provided with the documents necessary for the U.S. Marshal to effect

service. Plaintiff was ordered to complete and return, within 30 days, the USM-285 form, the

summons, and two copies of the complaint. Plaintiff was informed that this action cannot

proceed further until Plaintiff complies. Plaintiff was again warned that failure to comply with

this order may result in dismissal of the action. To date, Plaintiff has not complied.

Therefore, Plaintiff will be required to show cause in writing, within 30 days, why

this action should not be dismissed for failure to submit the required service documents. Plaintiff

is again warned that failure to respond to this order may result in dismissal of the entire action for

the reasons outlined above, as well as for failure to prosecute and comply with court rules and

orders. See id.

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. Defendant Walker is dismissed from this action for failure to state a claim;

2. The Clerk of the Court is directed to terminate Walker as a defendant and

update the docket; and

3. Plaintiff shall show cause in writing, within 30 days of the date of service

of this order, why this action should not be dismissed for failure to submit the required service

documents. 

DATED: July 22, 2010
