UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

EDWIN VALENCIA,

Plaintiff,

v.

L. MACHADO, et al.,

 Defendants.

No. 1:24-cv-00569-SAB (PC)

ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE WHY ACTION 

SHOULD NOT BE DISMISSED

(ECF No. 18)

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

U.S.C. § 1983. 

On September 26, 2024, the Court screened Plaintiff first amended complaint, found that 

Plaintiff stated a cognizable excessive force claim against Defendant Ortega, and granted Plaintiff 

the opportunity to amend the complaint or file a notice of intent to proceed on the excessive force 

claim only. (ECF No. 16.) On October 21, 2024, Plaintiff was granted an additional thirty days 

to respond to the Court’s order. (ECF No. 18.) Plaintiff has failed to file an amended complaint 

or otherwise respond to the Court’s order and the time to do so has passed. Accordingly, it is 

HEREBY ORDERED that Plaintiff shall show cause within fourteen (14) days from the date of 

service of this order why this action should not be dismissed for failure to state a cognizable 

claim, failure to prosecute, and failure to comply with a court order. Plaintiff’s failure to comply 

with this order will result in a recommendation to dismiss the action for the reasons stated above. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: December 2, 2024
