UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

RAUL MEDINA, 

Plaintiff, 

v. 

SACRAMENTO COUNTY SHERIFF’S 

DEPARTMENT, 

Defendant. 

No. 2:16-cv-0765 AC P 

ORDER 

Plaintiff is a state prisoner incarcerated at Avenal State Prison. Plaintiff commenced this 

action on April 14, 2016, by filing a civil rights complaint pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983, together 

with a request for leave to proceed in forma pauperis pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915. Plaintiff 

consented to the jurisdiction of the undersigned Magistrate Judge for all purposes pursuant to 28 

U.S.C. § 636(c) and Local Rule 305(a). See ECF No. 4. 

On October 14, 2016, this court granted plaintiff’s request to proceed in forma pauperis 

and dismissed plaintiff’s complaint with leave to file an amended complaint within thirty days. 

ECF No. 5. The court informed plaintiff of the deficiencies in his complaint, see 28 U.S.C. § 

1915A, including his failure to name a proper defendant, and plaintiff’s concession that he had 

failed to attempt to administratively exhaust his claim. Plaintiff was informed that failure to file 

an amended complaint would result in the dismissal of this action without prejudice. ECF No. 5 

at 8.

The court’s order was served on plaintiff at his address of record. Pursuant to Local Rule 

182(f), service of documents at a party’s record address is fully effective. 

More than thirty days have passed since the filing date of the court’s order. Plaintiff has 

not filed an amended complaint or otherwise communicated with the court; it appears that 

plaintiff has abandoned this case. 

 Accordingly, for good cause shown, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that this action is 

dismissed without prejudice pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(b). The Clerk of 

Court is directed to close this case. 

DATED: December 5, 2016
