UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

JOSE LUIS SEGURA, 

Plaintiff, 

v. 

MICHAEL MCDONALD, et al., 

Defendants. 

No. 2:13-cv-0393 AC 

ORDER 

 By order filed January 15, 2014, plaintiff was granted thirty days to file a second amended 

complaint. Plaintiff, whose motion for leave to amend was unaccompanied by a proposed second 

amended complaint, represented that the first amended complaint named incorrect defendants. 

Defendants did not oppose plaintiff’s motion, contending that the first amended complaint was 

defective because it had been signed by someone other than plaintiff. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 11(a); 

L. R. 131(b). The first amended complaint does indicate that a self-styled jailhouse lawyer 

purported to sign it on plaintiff’s behalf. See ECF No. at 13. 

 The deadline for filing the second amended complaint has now passed, and plaintiff has 

not filed a second amended complaint or otherwise responded to the court’s order. Accordingly, 

the court will order plaintiff to show cause within thirty days why his first amended complaint 

should not be dismissed as defective based on (1) plaintiff’s own representation that he may have 

named the wrong defendants, and (2) failure of the first amended complaint to comply with Rule

11(a). Should plaintiff elect to proceed on the first amended complaint, he must inform the court 

within thirty days that the first amended complaint names the appropriate defendants and he must 

submit a properly signed copy of his first amended complaint. Should plaintiff fail to comply 

with this order, the court must strike the first amended complaint pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 11(a) 

and will recommend dismissal of this action. See Local Rule 110; Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(b). 

 IT IS SO ORDERED. 

DATED: February 25, 2014
