UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

RUPERT FLOWERS,

Plaintiff,

v.

DAVE DAVEY, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 1:16-cv-01363-AWI-BAM (PC)

ORDER DISCHARGING ORDER TO FILE 

CONSENT OR DECLINE FORM OR SHOW 

CAUSE WHY THIS ACTION SHOULD NOT 

BE DISMISSED FOR FAILURE TO 

PROSECUTE

(ECF No. 12)

Plaintiff Rupert Flowers (“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 

September 15, 2016. (ECF No. 1.) On December 20, 2016, the Court order Plaintiff to file a 

consent or decline form, or to show cause why this action should not be dismissed for failure to 

prosecute. (ECF No. 12.) On December 30, 2016, Plaintiff consented to magistrate judge 

jurisdiction. (ECF No. 14.)

Based on Plaintiff filing the consent form, the Court finds good cause to discharge the 

December 20, 2016 order. Accordingly, the Court’s December 20, 2016 order to show cause is 

HEREBY DISCHARGED. The Court advises Plaintiff that his first amended complaint will be 

screened in due course.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
