No. CIV 05-2824-PHX-MHM (LOA)

ORDER

On September 15, 2005, Plaintiff Freddy Mondragon, presently confined in the

Maricopa County Towers Jail, filed a Civil Rights Complaint by a Prisoner ("Complaint")

pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. The Court dismissed the Complaint with leave to amend on

April 4, 2006 (Doc. #3). On May 16, 2006, Plaintiff filed a Motion for Extension of Time

to file an amended complaint (Doc. #5).

In his Motion, Plaintiff states that his documents have been “mishandled” by Inmate

Legal Services. The Court will grant Plaintiff’s Motion. Plaintiff will have forty-five (45)

days from the filing date of this order to file an amended complaint.

Rule 41(b) Warning

If Plaintiff fails to timely comply with every provision of this Order, this action will

be dismissed without further notice. See Ferdik v. Bonzelet, 963 F.2d 1258, 1260-61 (9th

Cir. 1992) (district court may dismiss action for failure to comply with any order of the

Case 2:05-cv-02824-MHM--LOA Document 7 Filed 06/12/06 Page 1 of 3

court). Moreover, because the Complaint has been dismissed for failure to state a claim, if

Plaintiff fails to file an amended complaint correcting the deficiencies identified in the

Court’s April 4, 2006 Order, the dismissal of this action will count as a “strike” under the

“three strikes” provision of the Prison Litigation Reform Act. See 28 U.S.C. § 1915(g).

IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED as follows:

(1) Plaintiff’s May 16, 2006 Motion for Extension of Time (Doc. #5) is GRANTED;

(2) Plaintiff SHALL HAVE forty-five (45) days from the filing date of this Order to

file an amended complaint in order to state specific allegations of deprivation of

constitutional rights against proper defendant(s), to name as defendant(s) the individual(s)

who participated in the activities alleged in his amended complaint, to state what injury he

has suffered as a result of the activities of the defendant(s), and to show how, prior to filing

this action, he exhausted his administrative remedies as to each of his claims for relief. The

amended complaint must be retyped or rewritten in its entirety on the current Court-approved

form included with this Order, may not incorporate any part of the original Complaint by

reference, and must contain Plaintiff’s original signature. If Plaintiff fails to file the

amended complaint on a current Court-approved form, the amended complaint will be

stricken and the action dismissed without further notice to Plaintiff. Any amended complaint

submitted by Plaintiff should be clearly designated as an amended complaint on the face of

the document;

(3) The Clerk of Court shall enter a judgment of dismissal of this action with prejudice

and without further notice to Plaintiff if Plaintiff fails to file an amended complaint within

forty-five (45) days of the date this Order is filed. Upon entry of judgment, the Clerk shall

make an entry on the docket in this matter indicating that the dismissal of this action falls

within the purview of 28 U.S.C. § 1915(g);

(5) A clear, legible copy of every pleading or other document filed SHALL

ACCOMPANY each original pleading or other document filed with the Clerk for use by the

District Judge or Magistrate Judge to whom the case is assigned. See LRCiv 5.4. Failure

to submit a copy along with the original pleading or document will result in the

pleading or document being stricken without further notice to Plaintiff;

(6) At all times during the pendency of this action, Plaintiff SHALL IMMEDIATELY

ADVISE the Court and the United States Marshal of any change of address and its effective

date. Such notice shall be captioned “NOTICE OF CHANGE OF ADDRESS.” The notice

shall contain only information pertaining to the change of address and its effective date,

except that if Plaintiff has been released from custody, the notice should so indicate. The

notice shall not include any motions for any other relief. Failure to file a NOTICE OF

CHANGE OF ADDRESS may result in the dismissal of the action for failure to prosecute

pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(b); 

(7) The Clerk of the Court is DIRECTED to provide Plaintiff with a current, Courtapproved form for filing a civil rights complaint pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983.

DATED this 7th day of June, 2006.
