IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

GREGORIO C. FUNTANILLA, JR., No. 2:02-CV-1157-JAM-CMK-P

Plaintiff, 

vs. ORDER

MICHAEL JAFFE, et al.,

Defendants.

 /

Plaintiff, a prisoner proceeding pro se, brings this civil rights action pursuant to 

42 U.S.C. § 1983. 

On December 9, 2014, the court directed plaintiff to file a status report within 30

days. On January 16, 2015, plaintiff sought an extension of time. On February 3, 2015, the court

granted plaintiff’s request for additional time, extending the deadline for plaintiff’s status report

to 45 days from that date. In both orders, plaintiff was warned that failure to comply could result

in dismissal of the entire action. As of April 27, 2015, plaintiff had neither sought additional

time nor filed a status report. Consequently, the court issued findings and recommendations that

this action be dismissed for lack of prosecution and failure to comply with court rules and orders.

On May 18, 2015, plaintiff sought an extension of time to file objections to the

court’s April 27, 2015, findings and recommendations. On May 21, 2015, the court granted

plaintiff’s request, providing him an additional 30 days to file objections. Plaintiff filed

objections on July 7, 2015. In his objections, plaintiff states that during the time period of

February 3, 2015, through April 24, 2015, he suffered a medical condition which resulted in his

being removed from his cell for medical treatment. He states further that he was separated from

his legal papers during this time. Finally, plaintiff states that his health has been restored, that he

has access to his legal documents, and that he is now able to file a status report. 

Good cause appearing therefor, the court will vacate the April 27, 2015, findings

and recommendations and provide plaintiff an additional extension of time to file a status report

pursuant to the court’s December 9, 2014, order. 

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that;

1. The findings and recommendations issued on April 27, 2015, are vacated;

2. Plaintiff shall file a status report within 30 days of the date of this order;

and

3. The Clerk of the Court shall forward with this order a copy of the court’s

December 9, 2014, order at Doc. 236.

DATED: September 17, 2015
