No. CV 05-0953-PHX-SRB (ECV)

ORDER

Plaintiff has filed a Motion for Leave to Amend Complaint. Doc. #55. Along with

the motion, Plaintiff has lodged a proposed Second Amended Complaint. Doc. #56. In an

Order filed on May 3, 2006, Judge Bolton granted in part Defendants' Motion to Dismiss

based on Plaintiff's failure to exhaust administrative remedies. Doc. #40. The Court found

that Plaintiff exhausted the available administrative remedies for only one of his claims, that

he was receiving an inadequate diet. Because that claim was intertwined with the other

claims in Count III of his complaint, the Court dismissed the complaint with leave to amend

and provided Plaintiff with 20 days to file an amended complaint that asserts only his

exhausted claim of an inadequate diet. Doc. #40 at 9-10. Plaintiff then sought two

extensions of time to file an amended complaint, which this court granted. Doc. #45, 50.

In the proposed amended complaint lodged with Plaintiff's motion to amend, Plaintiff

has failed to comply with the Court's order to limit the amended complaint to the one claim

for which he has exhausted administrative remedies. Having failed to comply with the

Court's order, Plaintiff's motion to amend will be denied. Plaintiff will be given one final

opportunity to submit an amended complaint that comports with the Court's order. If

Plaintiff fails to do so, this action will be dismissed.

That Plaintiff's Motion for Leave to Amend Complaint (Doc. #55) is denied;

That on or before Wednesday, October 4, 2006, Plaintiff shall file an amended

complaint in compliance with the Court's Order filed on May 3, 2006 that restricts the

amended complaint to one claim alleging an inadequate diet; and

That failure to comply with this order will result in a dismissal of the action.

DATED this 19th day of September, 2006.
