UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

DALE OWEN DUSTIN, 

 Plaintiff,

 vs.

C. GIPSON, et al.,

 Defendants.

1:14-cv-01405-LJO-EPG-PC

ORDER FOR OFFICE OF THE 

ATTORNEY GENERAL TO

ADDRESS PLAINTIFF’S 

MOTION FOR RETURN OF 

PERSONAL AND LEGAL 

PROPERTY

(ECF No. 32.)

Plaintiff, Dale Owen Dustin (“Plaintiff”), is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in 

forma pauperis with this civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. ' 1983. Plaintiff is presently 

incarcerated at Kern Valley State Prison (KVSP) in Delano, California.

On May 18, 2015, the Court issued an order requiring Plaintiff to file an amended 

complaint within thirty days. (ECF No. 19.) Plaintiff has requested and been granted four

extensions of time to file the amended complaint, explaining each time that his personal and 

legal property were taken from him by prison officials and have not been returned to him. (ECF 

Nos. 20, 22, 26, 30.) Plaintiff has made multiple requests for a Court order compelling the 

return of his property; however, the Court lacks jurisdiction to grant the relief requested by

Plaintiff. Plaintiff has filed another motion for return of his property and two more motions for 

extension of time to file the amended complaint. (ECF Nos. 32, 33, 34.)
