JAMES TATLIS,

Plaintiff,

v.

FONTANA POLICE DEPARTMENT, et 

al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 16-cv-02556-PJH 

ORDER OF DISMISSAL

In a May 13, 2016 order, the court granted plaintiff James Tatlis’s motion to 

proceed in forma pauperis, but dismissed his complaint for failure to state a claim upon 

which relief can be granted under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e). Dkt. 6. The order indicated that 

Tatlis was to file any amended complaint no later than June 10. Id. Plaintiff did not do 

so. For the following three reasons, the court will DISMISS this case, with prejudice.

First, plaintiff failed to amend the complaint by the June 10 deadline set by the 

court. See Dkt. 6.

Second, plaintiff has not complied with the Local Rules’ requirement to notify the 

court of his current address within 60 days after mail is returned. See L.R. 3-11(b). The 

docket indicates that mail sent to plaintiff’s address was returned as undeliverable on 

June 13. Plaintiff still has not notified the clerk of his current address.

Third, plaintiff failed to appear at the scheduled initial case management 

conference in this matter. Dkt. 5, 8. As a failure to comply with a court order, this is a 

further grounds for dismissal under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(b).
