DAVID L. COOK, SR.,

Plaintiff,

 v.

LT. WILLIAMS, 

Defendant. /

No. C 09-02926 SBA (PR)

ORDER OF DISMISSAL

On May 3, 2010, the Court issued an order of dismissal with leave to amend and gave

Plaintiff thirty days from the date of the Order to file an amended complaint providing factual and

legal bases for his claims. Plaintiff was warned that a failure to timely file an amended complaint

would result in dismissal for failure to prosecute. 

The time for Plaintiff to file his amended complaint has passed, and no amended complaint

has been filed. 

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the complaint in the above-captioned action is

DISMISSED for failure to prosecute pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(b). The Court

has rendered its final decision on this matter; therefore, this Order TERMINATES Plaintiff's case. 

The Clerk of the Court shall terminate all pending motions and close the file.

When and if Plaintiff is prepared to pursue his claims, he may file a new civil rights action. 

The limitations period to file a § 1983 action in California is two years, but it is tolled for up to two

years during a continuous period of incarceration. See Silva v. Crain, 169 F.3d 608, 610 (9th Cir.

1999) (holding, pursuant to Cal. Civ. Proc. Code § 340(3), that the limitations period for filing a
