UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

CRAIG SIMONSON,

Plaintiff,

v.

T. SINGH, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 1:16-cv-00126-LJO-MJS (PC)

ORDER DISCHARGING ORDER TO 

SHOW CAUSE 

(ECF No. 17)

Plaintiff is a county jail inmate proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis in this civil 

rights action brought pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Plaintiff initiated the action on 

January 27, 2016. (ECF No. 1.) 

On July 26, 2016, the Court screened Plaintiff’s first amended complaint and 

found that it stated a cognizable excessive force claim against Defendant Singh. (ECF 

15.) The Court dismissed Plaintiff’s remaining claims but gave Plaintiff thirty days to file 

an amended complaint or notice of his willingness to proceed on the cognizable claim. 

Id. As of September 15, 2016, Plaintiff still had not complied with that Order. The Court 

then ordered Plaintiff to show cause days why his case should not be dismissed for 

failure to obey the Court’s order. (ECF No. 17.)

On September 26, 2016, Plaintiff filed notice of willingness to proceed on his 

cognizable claim. (ECF No. 18.) Accordingly, Plaintiff having complied, albeit late, with 

the order to show cause, the Court will discharge it.

Based on the foregoing, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED THAT the order to show 

cause (ECF No. 17) is DISCHARGED.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
