EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

GUILLERMO E. MENDEZ,

Plaintiff,

Defendants.

Case No. 1:15-cv-00781-BAM (PC)

ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE WHY THIS

TWENTY (20) DAY DEADLINE

Plaintiff Guillermo E. Mendez (“Plaintiff”) is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in 

forma pauperis in this civil rights action under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Plaintiff initiated this action on 

May 22, 2015 (ECF No. 1), and consented to magistrate judge jurisdiction on June 4, 2015 (ECF 

No. 5).

On November 2, 2016, this Court issued an order dismissing Plaintiff’s complaint with 

leave to amend within thirty (30) days. (ECF No. 8.) Plaintiff was expressly warned that the 

failure to file an amended complaint in compliance with the Court’s order would result in this 

action being dismissed for failure to obey a court order and failure to state a claim. (Id. at p. 6.)

The deadline for Plaintiff to file an amended complaint has passed, and he has not complied with 

or otherwise responded to the Court’s order.

Accordingly, the Court HEREBY ORDERS that Plaintiff shall show cause in writing,

within twenty (20) days of service of this order, why this action should not be dismissed for 

Plaintiff’s failure to comply with the Court’s November 2, 2016 order, for failure to state a claim, 

and for failure to prosecute. The failure to respond to this order will result in the dismissal of 

this action, with prejudice, for failure to state a claim, failure to obey a court order, and 

failure to prosecute.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
