IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

EDWIN GOLDEN, No. CIV S-03-2379-MCE-CMK-P

Plaintiff, 

vs. ORDER

TOM L. CAREY, et al.,

Defendants.

 /

Plaintiff, a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis, brings this civil

rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. On January 19, 2005, the court dismissed plaintiff’s

first amended complaint with leave to amend and directed plaintiff to file a second amended

complaint within 30 days. Plaintiff failed to comply and, on September 22, 2005, the court

directed plaintiff to show cause in writing why this action should not be dismissed for lack of

prosecution and failure to comply with rules and court order. 

Plaintiff has filed a response to the court’s order to show cause setting forth

excusable neglect for failure to file a second amended complaint. The order to show cause will,

therefore, be discharged. Plaintiff also seeks additional time within which to file a second

amended complaint. That request will be granted.
