Plaintiff,

OPTION ONE MORTGAGE,

Defendant. /

No. C 08-00247 JSW

ORDER RE VERIFIED NOTICE

OF DEFAULT

On January 14, 2008, Plaintiff Sergio Ivan Gutierrez filed a complaint and an

application to proceed in forma pauperis. On January 16, 2008, this Court issued an order

denying Plaintiff’s application to proceed in forma pauperis and dismissing the complaint with

leave to amend. The Court stated that Plaintiff’s complaint is disjointed to the point of being

incoherent and unintelligible. It is impossible to discern from his complaint: (1) the underlying

factual basis for his suit; (2) the legal theories under which he seeks relief; or (3) what relief he

is requesting. The Court explained that it could not discern the basis of the complaint or the

claim for jurisdiction. 

Plaintiff was informed that if he wished to pursue this action, he would have to file an

amended complaint setting forth a cognizable legal claim by February 8, 2008. Such an

amended complaint was not filed, although the fee for filing the complaint was received on

February 8, 2008. 

Now Plaintiff has filed a document called “Verified Notice of Default.” There has been

no default as Plaintiff has yet to file an amended complaint setting forth the grounds upon

which this Court has jurisdiction, “a short and plain statement of the claim showing that the

pleader is entitled to relief, . . . and a demand for judgment for the relief the pleader seeks.” 

See Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 8(a). Therefore, the notice received is improper. 

The Court shall grant one more extension of time to allow Plaintiff to file an amended

complaint. The amended complaint shall be filed by no later than March 28, 2008. If no

complaint is filed, this matter shall be dismissed.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
