UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

DANIEL MURPHY COSTON,

Plaintiff,

v.

E. CLARK, et al.,

Defendants.

CASE NO. 1:14-cv-00148-MJS (PC)

ORDER DISCHARGING ORDER TO 

SHOW CAUSE 

(ECF No. 15)

Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis in this civil 

rights action brought pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. On March 31, 2015, Plaintiff’s first 

amended complaint was dismissed for failure to state a claim, but he was given leave to 

file a second amended complaint. (ECF No. 14.) The thirty day deadline passed without 

Plaintiff either filing an amended pleading or seeking an extension of time to do so.

On May 15, 2015, the Court ordered Plaintiff to show cause within fourteen days 

why the action should not be dismissed with prejudice for failure to obey a court order 

and failure to prosecute. (ECF No. 15.) Almost simultaneously with the order to show 

cause, Plaintiff’s second amended complaint (ECF No. 14), dated April 24, 2015, was 

docketed.

Based on Plaintiff’s timely submission of the second amended complaint, the
