UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JASON ERIK SCHMAUS,

Plaintiff,

v.

PHILLIPS, et al.

Defendants.

No. 1:23-cv-01125-SAB (PC)

ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE WHY ACTION 

SHOULD NOT BE DISMISSED

(ECF No. 21)

Plaintiff is proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis in this action filed pursuant to 42 

U.S.C. § 1983. 

On March 18, 2024, the Court screened Plaintiff’s first amended complaint, found he stated 

a cognizable claim for deliberate indifference and retaliation against Defendant Dr. Aye, but no 

other claims for relief. (ECF No. 21.) Plaintiff was granted leave to file an amended complaint or 

notify the Court to proceed only on the claims found to be cognizable. (Id. at 12-13.) Plaintiff has 

failed to file an amended complaint or otherwise respond to the Court’s March 18, 2024 order and 

the time to do so has passed. Accordingly, Plaintiff shall be ordered to show cause why the action 

should not be dismissed for failure to state a cognizable claim for relief, failure to prosecute, and 

failure to comply with a court order.
