No. 3:14-cv-01741 LB

ORDER DISCHARGING SECOND

ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE

On June 29, 2015, the court ordered the plaintiff Thomas Smith to show cause why this action

should not be dismissed for failure to prosecute because he did not file a first amended complaint by

the court’s June 1, 2015 deadline for doing so. (Second Order to Show Cause, ECF No. 34.) On July

2, 2015, Mr. Smith’s counsel filed a declaration responding to the court’s order. (Moore Decl., ECF

No. 35.) In it, Mr. Smith’s counsel described several personal matters that understandably required

his attention. He asks the court either to give him additional time to file a first amended complaint or

to stay the action while his appeal in a related action is pending. The court does not believe a stay is

warranted at this time, but it will give Mr. Smith additional time to file and serve a first amended

complaint. Accordingly, the court directs Mr. Smith to file and serve a first amended complaint no

later than August 31, 2015. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
