IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

HERMAN T. JOHNSON,

Plaintiff, CV F 03 5228 OWW WMW P 

vs. ORDER RE MOTION (54)

DR. DANG, et al.,

Defendants.

On March 23, 2006, an order was entered, dismissing

the operative pleading in this case and directing Plaintiff

to file an amended complaint. Plaintiff has been granted

numerous extensions of time in which to file an amended

complaint. Plaintiff’s most recent motion seeks

“continuance and adjournment at a later date.” Plaintiff

indicates that he has been declared legally blind, and

seeks to continue this action “to a later date.” 

Plaintiff, as the initiator of this action, is responsible

for prosecuting it. In the March 23, 2006, order, Plaintiff

was informed of the deficiencies in the complaint. 

Plaintiff has been granted extensions of time in which to

correct the identified deficiencies. The court is willing to

accommodate Plaintiff by corresponding with Plaintiff

using a larger font. Plaintiff has not, however, shown

good cause why this action should be stayed, or why

Plaintiff should be granted an open ended continuance.

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. Plaintiff’s motion for a continuance is denied.

2. Plaintiff is granted an extension of time of thirty

recommendation that this action be dismissed for failure

to prosecute.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
