UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

DWAYNE GILES,

Plaintiff,

v.

TOM FELKER, et al.,

Defendants.

No. 2:16-cv-0923 KJN P

ORDER

Plaintiff is a state prisoner, proceeding pro se. On May 12, 2016, plaintiff’s complaint 

was dismissed as barred by the statute of limitations. However, on June 13, 2016, plaintiff filed 

an amended complaint, and asks the court to toll the statute of limitations during the pendency of 

his prior action. (ECF No. 9.) Plaintiff claims that his prior civil rights case was dismissed 

without prejudice on March 25, 2016, based on plaintiff’s failure to exhaust his administrative 

remedies prior to filing suit. Giles v. Felker, No. 2:11-cv-1825 WBS EFB (E.D. Cal.). Plaintiff 

filed an appeal, which is presently pending in the Ninth Circuit. Giles v. Felker, No. 16-15683 

(9th Cir.). Plaintiff asks the court to stay the instant action pending resolution of such appeal.

Good cause appearing, plaintiff’s request is granted. Plaintiff shall file a notice of 

resolution of appeal within twenty-one days from the date he receives a decision from the Ninth 

Circuit in Case No. 16-15683.
