UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

ISMAEL LOPEZ-RANGEL,

Plaintiff,

v.

PAUL COPENHAVER, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 1:14-cv-01175 DLB PC

ORDER VACATING JUDGMENT 

AND DIRECTING CLERK TO 

REOPEN ACTION

(Document 19)

Plaintiff Ismael Lopez-Rangel (“Plaintiff”), a former federal prisoner proceeding pro se and 

in forma pauperis, filed this civil action on July 28, 2014, pursuant to Bivens v. Six Unknown 

Named Agents of Federal Bureau of Narcotics, 403 U.S. 388 (1971), which provides a remedy for 

violation of civil rights by federal actors.1

On April 19, 2016, the Court dismissed this action for failure to comply with numerous Court 

orders and failure to prosecute, and entered judgment. 

On May 6, 2016, the Court received Plaintiff’s Second Amended Complaint. In light of the 

fact that Plaintiff now resides in Mexico and there are possible mail delays, as well as the fact that 

Plaintiff is attempting to comply with Court orders, the Court VACATES the April 19, 2016, 

judgment and DIRECTS the Clerk of Court to reopen this action.
