ORDER GRANTING REQUEST TO FILE

LATE AMENDED COMPLAINT (Doc. 13.) 

ORDER DIRECTING CLERK OF COURT TO

FILE LODGED AMENDED COMPLAINT

SUBMITTED DECEMBER 29, 2006 (Doc. 12.)

ORDER VACATING FINDINGS AND

RECOMMENDATION ISSUED DECEMBER

18, 2006 (Doc. 11.) 

 Miguel Mendoza (“Plaintiff”) is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis

in this civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Plaintiff filed the instant action on

August 30, 2005, naming Warden Mendoza-Powers, Chief Medical Officer R. Davis, Dr. W.

Cain, Dr. Rees, and Dr. John G. Henry as Defendants. 

The Court issued an Order dismissing the Complaint with leave to amend on November

2, 2006, however, Plaintiff did not file the Amended Complaint. Thus, on December 18, 2006,

the Court issued Findings and Recommendations to dismiss the action for Plaintiff’s failure to

comply with a Court order, failure to prosecute the action and failure to state a claim upon which

relief could be granted. 

On December 28, 2006, Plaintiff moved for permission to submit the Amended

Complaint out of time. Plaintiff also lodged the Amended Complaint with the Court. In light of

Plaintiff’s belated compliance with the Court’s Order, the Court now ORDERS:

2. The Clerk of Court is DIRECTED to file the Lodged Amended Complaint; and 

3. The Findings and Recommendations issued December 18, 2006, are VACATED. 

The Court will proceed with its subsequent screening of the Amended Complaint in due

course. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
