IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

CHRISTOPHER ELLIOTT,

Plaintiff,

v.

M. CAMPOSE,

Defendant.

No. 2:22-CV-1323-KJM-DMC-P

ORDER

Plaintiff, a prisoner proceeding pro se, brings this civil rights action pursuant to 

42 U.S.C. § 1983. 

On February 20, 2024, the undersigned issued findings and recommendations that 

Defendant’s motion to dismiss be granted and that this action be dismissed without leave to 

amend for failure to state a claim upon which relief can be granted. See ECF No. 34. On April 

16, 2024, the District Judge adopted the findings and recommendations except the District Judge 

granted the motion to dismiss with leave to amend. See ECF No. 35. Consistent with the District 

Judge’s order, on June 6, 2024, the Court issued an order directing Plaintiff to file a first amended 

complaint within 30 days. See ECF No. 36. As of July 23, 2024, no first amended complaint had 

been filed and the Court issued findings and recommendations that this action be dismissed 

without prejudice for lack of prosecution and failure to comply with court rules and orders. See

ECF No. 37. Plaintiff's address was updated to High Desert State Prison on July 25, 2024, and

the findings and recommendations were re-served the same day. Plaintiff's address was again 

updated to California State Prison – Corcoran on August 20, 2024, and the findings and 

recommendations were again re-served on the same day. Plaintiff filed objections to the findings 

and recommendations on September 9, 2024. See ECF No. 38.

In light of Plaintiff's multiple changes of address which may have made it difficult 

for Plaintiff to comply with the Court's June 6, 2024, order, and in the interest of justice, the 

Court will vacate the July 23, 2024, findings and recommendations and provide Plaintiff 

additional time within which to file a first amended complaint consistent with the District Judge's 

order. Plaintiff is again cautioned that failure to file a first amended complaint within the time 

permitted therefor may result in dismissal of the entire action for lack of prosecution and failure 

to comply with court rules and orders. See E. Dist. Cal. Local Rule 110.

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED as follows:

1. The findings and recommendations issued on July 23, 2024, ECF No. 37, 

are vacated.

2. Plaintiff shall file a first amended complaint within 30 days of the date of 

this order. 

Dated: November 15, 2024
