UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

CHARLES C. JAMES,

Plaintiff,

v.

D. ARTIS, et al.,

Defendants.

No. 2:13-cv-0886 CKD P

ORDER

Plaintiff has filed a motion for a third extension of time to file a second amended 

complaint. Good cause appearing, the court will grant this request. Plaintiff also seeks an order 

compelling officials at the California Health Care Facility to provide him access to his central 

file. The court lacks jurisdiction over these officials, as they are not defendants in this action. 

See Zenith Radio Corp. v. Hazeltine Research, Inc., 395 U.S. 100 (1969). In fact, no defendants 

have been served and no complaint is pending at this time.

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that plaintiff’s motion (ECF No. 18) is granted 

in part and denied in part as follows:

1. Plaintiff’s request for an extension of time is granted; 

2. Plaintiff is granted thirty days from the date of this order in which to file a second 

amended complaint; and
