No. CV 12-0663-PHX-GMS (DKD)

ORDER

Plaintiff Beauford Powell, who is confined in the Fourth Avenue Jail in Phoenix,

Arizona, filed a pro se civil rights Complaint pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983, which the Court

dismissed with leave to amend. (Doc. 5.) Plaintiff then filed a First Amended Complaint.

(Doc. 6.) In an Order filed on July 20, 2012, the Court dismissed two of Plaintiff’s claims

but ordered service of the First Amended Complaint on Defendant as to a third claim. (Doc.

8.) The Court stayed the filing of a response by Defendant Magness as to the third claim

pending further Court order. (Id.) The Court ordered Magness to file a notice every 90 days

regarding the status of Plaintiff’s state criminal cases. (Id.) 

Plaintiff has filed two motions for extension of time. (Doc. 9, 10.) In his motions,

Plaintiff recounts his efforts to obtain copies of cases cited in the Court’s prior Order and

asks for an extension. Plaintiff appears to believe that his First Amended Complaint was

dismissed with leave to amend. Plaintiff is mistaken. The Court dismissed two of Plaintiff’s

claims and stayed the filing of a response by the Defendant to the remaining claim pending

further order of court. In short, the Court has not set any deadline with which Plaintiff must

comply. Thus, there is no deadline to be extended against Plaintiff. Accordingly, Plaintiff’s

motions will be denied as moot.

Warnings

A. Release

Plaintiff must pay the unpaid balance of the filing fee within 120 days of his release.

Also, within 30 days of his release, he must either (1) notify the Court that he intends to pay

the balance or (2) show good cause, in writing, why he cannot. Failure to comply may result

in dismissal of this action.

B. Address Changes

Plaintiff must file and serve a notice of a change of address in accordance with Rule

83.3(d) of the Local Rules of Civil Procedure. Plaintiff must not include a motion for other

relief with a notice of change of address. Failure to comply may result in dismissal of this

action.

C. Copies

Plaintiff must submit an additional copy of every filing for use by the Court. See

LRCiv 5.4. Failure to comply may result in the filing being stricken without further notice

to Plaintiff.

D. Possible Dismissal

If Plaintiff fails to timely comply with every provision of this Order, including these

warnings, the Court may dismiss this action without further notice. See Ferdik v. Bonzelet,

963 F.2d at 1260-61 (9th Cir. 1992) (a district court may dismiss an action for failure to

comply with any order of the Court).

IT IS ORDERED that Plaintiff’s motions for extension of time are denied as moot.

(Doc. 9, 10.)

DATED this 27th day of August, 2012.
