IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

LYRALISA LAVENA STEVENS,

Plaintiff, No. CIV S-10-0914 GGH P

vs.

ATTORNEY GENERAL OF THE 

STATE OF CALIFORNIA,

Defendants. ORDER 

 /

Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis with an action

filed pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. By order filed June 10, 2010, plaintiff’s complaint was

dismissed with leave to file an amended complaint. (Doc. #5.) Instead of filing an amended

complaint, plaintiff has filed a motion seeking a stay of the action pending litigation of her claims

in the Court of Appeal, First Appellate District. (Doc. # 7.)

Plaintiff’s motion is brought prematurely. The undersigned hereby grants

plaintiff an additional twenty-eight days from the date of this Order to file an amended

complaint. If this court finds plaintiff’s amended complaint to state a colorable claim pursuant to

42 U.S.C. § 1983, plaintiff may then seek a stay of the action pending her state court litigation.

prejudice.
