ORDER GRANTING PLAINTIFF TIME TO

COMPLY WITH ORDER DISMISSING

COMPLAINT WITH LEAVE TO AMEND 

 Willie B. Penilton (“Plaintiff”) is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma

pauperis in this civil rights action filed pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Plaintiff filed this action

on May 23, 2005. On June 24, 2005, Plaintiff filed an Amended Complaint. On December 19,

2005, Plaintiff submitted a Second Amended Complaint which was lodged with the Court. The

Court examined the Complaint and determined that it was identical to the initial complaint. 

Thus, the Clerk of Court was directed to return the lodged Second Amended Complaint to

Plaintiff. Plaintiff’s First Amended Complaint was also dismissed with leave to amend,

however, Plaintiff did not file a Second Amended Complaint in an attempt to cure the

deficiencies outlined by the Court regarding the First Amended Complaint. Thus, the Court, on

March 1, 2006, issued Findings and Recommendations to dismiss the action for Plaintiff’s failure

to comply with the Court Order. 

On April 13, 2006, Plaintiff filed Objections to the Findings and Recommendations

asking the Court to allow him to proceed with the action. However, Plaintiff still did not file a

Second Amended Complaint as previously ordered by the Court. The Court will GRANT

Plaintiff additional time to submit the Second Amended Complaint as previously ordered within

thirty days. The Court will refrain from forwarding this action to the District Court on the

previously issued Findings and Recommendation and vacate them should Plaintiff comply. 

However, should Plaintiff again fail to comply, the Court will refer the Findings and

Recommendations to the District Court for resolution. 

Accordingly, the Court HEREBY ORDERS: 

1. Plaintiff is GRANTED thirty days from the date of service of this Order to submit

a Second Amended Complaint curing the deficiencies outlined in the Court’s

Order dismissing with leave to amend issued on January 10, 2006. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
